losing teeth

Both jasper and zuzu have been losing teeth this month.


       
Jasper has lost 3 this summer.  Most kids wait for their teeth to fall out by themselves - wiggling them every so often until they become so loose that they dangle in place like broken little saloon doors.  Not this kid.  In fact, this tooth was hardly loose.  We were out having hot fudge sundaes after their yearly physicals.  a piece of frozen caramel got stuck between his teeth and he decided to pull it out right then and there. I guess the tooth was in the way of his summertime fun.  It will be interesting to see how 3 big, shiny, new teeth will fit into these small spaces.  Hmmm.
            

   
Zuzu has lost 2 teeth - that we have found.  Others have probably been swept up with the little white hairs and other debris from the floor.  I will save them all - little fossils of their innocence.  Unless I lost them in the laundry yesterday.

we've been talking about it and promising kids about it for 3 (or 4?!?) years.
why did we wait so long?

 


now our family is complete.
