Teeth.
Thursday, October 30, 2008 at 02:19AM Oy. This week has been a doozy. Nothing huge or anything...just very busy. I won't bore you with the details. But. I did want to share with you that we appear to be all about lost teeth of late. In the past week or so:
- I've had one pulled (that wisdom tooth that I told you about...finally all healed and the cough is starting (knock on wood) to subside);
- Noah lost his first one (the first that came out on its own...during music/drama class on Monday...the other four he's lost were all pulled because the permanent teeth were already coming through); and,
- Asher had one pulled Tuesday morning (something about a pulp infection...the dentist assures me it's rare and was frankly baffled about why Asher had encountered this...nevertheless, out it came...making two pulled teeth for Asher, both due to poor dental health...he doesn't appear ready at all to lose teeth for natural reasons).
Yup, all about the teeth around here. :) Here's a pic of my sweet, toothless boys...aren't they cute?!
Noah's got another couple loose (on either side of that big gap) so we'll see how he's looking by Christmas, eh? :) Of course, that one he lost Monday is already growing in...unfortunately, Asher's permanent tooth probably won't be ready to come in for a good bit yet, so this may be his "look" for months to come. Good thing he's so adorable, right? :)
Oh. Question for you. What do your kids think the Tooth Fairy looks like? Until this morning, I thought both Noah and Asher believed the Tooth Fairy to look like "The Molinator" character on Santa Clause 2 (the middle aged guy with little wings who wanted to change his name to "The Molinator"). Strange but true. I'm pretty sure that's still the picture Noah has in his head, but Asher's suddenly thinking the Tooth Fairy is a girl. I just find the whole thing interesting. We've never really described the Tooth Fairy in any specific way, so it's fascinating what they come up with. :)

(much cuter on small kids than on adults haha) Glad to hear that cough is FINALLY gonna rid itself from you but dont send it this way! hope yall stay healthy over there chicky! Happy Halloweeen!
They both look so sweet Amanda!I love the look of missing teeth. My youngest is 7 and has only lost one tooth. She has two that are loose and she is dying to have them come out.
LOL about the tooth fairy. I never thought to ask my girls what they thought the tooth fairy looked like.
Well, they do look adorably cute! And how funny that they are wondering about what the tooth fairy looks like because my 4 year old just asked me that same question yesterday! Most importantly, she wanted to know if she was "little" like Tinkerbell or bigger like the Fairy Godmother. Made me chuckle, that's for sure. :)
