Well it looks like Alex may be asking Santa for his two front teeth this Christmas. The top two front teeth have been wiggly for awhile now but last week when he collided with another kids head they really got wiggly. It was only a matter of time before one fell out. He was able to twist it around in his mouth without it detaching. Gross, I know but for a 6 year old that is tricky. He finally pulled it out at breakfast on Tuesday morning. The wonderful toothfairy brought him 8 quarters. He wanted dollars. Sometimes there is no winning with him. He has one front tooth left hanging by a thread. For me its a little sad. When they loose the bottom teeth it doesn't change their appearance that much but when they loose the top it really makes them look different, a little older and their natural baby face turns into a big kid face. When that grown up tooth comes in all big and out there in its awkward stage, it can make for some pretty bad school photos. I will have to learn all over again to embrace this part of childhood. Most people probably don't think about it like I do, analyzing what loosing a tooth means, but that is just how I am. thanks for reading xoxo
