A hole in his head. (In a good way.)

April 1, 2010 16 Comments

Both of Grant’s front teeth have been loose for a while.
I mean, we are talking loooooooooooooooooooooooooooose.

We’re talking so loose that he could push them out, almost horizontally.

We’re talking so loose that those suckers cast a shadow.
We’re talking so loose that if he came in for a kiss and a hug, I worried about getting poked in the eye.
We’re talking so loose I fretted that he may soon qualify for The Big Book Of British Smiles.

Then he lost one.

Then all of the sudden it seemed like the remaining tooth shifted smack-dab into the middle of his mouth.
And this one hung on for about a week.
For about a week the child looked like some unholy union between Deliverance and the 1-800 DENTIST lady.
For about a week I could hear banjo music every time I looked at his cute Jack-o-lantern little face.
Then! Finally. Mercifully.
Thank goodness!
I’m going to serve spaghetti tonight. Just for the fun of watching him try to eat it.
‘Cuz I’m mean like that.

    Those suckers do take forever to come out…especially since the kiddos announce that their tooth is loose even with the smallest wiggle. He’s adorable.

    Hilarious. Those really were some funny teeth…it’s like he had built in redneck teeth for a while! Jack’s bottom teeth have been loose for a while, but are still hanging in there!

    He’s so cute with those gaps! Hannah lost a tooth in the car yesterday.

    She put it under her pillow and then woke up so upset because the tooth fairy hadn’t come. Jeff scrambled in there and put some money under one of her pillows and she was so happy when she saw it. I’m such a loser mom. I’m always forgetting!

    XOXO

    HILARIOUS! Your comments were so funny. We called my niece a hillbilly for a couple weeks till she finally lost her other front tooth. Funny how you forget all those gawky stages & then you remember them thru your kids. LOVE the last picture… that grin is priceless!

    It’s almost sad that it’s not Christmas time, so you can make him sing “All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth”. You can, however, make him whistle. Do it!
    Love the hillbilly stuff, and banjos! Hilarious!
