Ethan lost his first tooth this morning! I don’t know what he was doing but, I saw him holding something small and at first I thought it was a lego, then I saw that it was a tooth! So I asked him if he pulled it out and he said ‘No, it just fell out.’ It was READY! Ethan was kind of in shock at first so he wouldn’t let me see the space in his mouth where the tooth had come from. But after I had gotten him an envelope to put his tooth in and gave him a chance to ‘forget’ what had happened, he’s back to being himself and I got to see. 🙂
I remember when those same teeth seemed so large in his little tiny mouth! And now they are these teeny tiny teeth in a bigger kid mouth. And it’s time for these teeny tiny teeth to move on and make way for adult teeth! Wow! It’s weird to think that the teeth that will be coming in soon are the teeth he’s going to have for the rest of his life. Just amazing.
