Tales of the Tooth
"Guess what, Mom?"
"What?"
"I have a wiggly tooth!"
So went the conversation Son and I had first thing this morning. Yes, he has his first loose tooth; he's 6, so he's on target.
I know this is one of those things everyone goes through, but this is another one of those "slaps in the face" that reminds me that my kids are growing up. I was thinking about this while I was on my way home from the grocery store, and all of a sudden I got kind of pissed! I though, crap! I dealt with all that teething, drooling, fevers, crying, pain...and for what? Six years later the damn teeth fall out!
Think about it!

I'm dealing with the braces issue with my #2! It goes too fast, that's for sure!

Posted by: junebee at March 12, 2006 09:28 PMYeah, the tooth fairy will be showing up. I'm just afraid I'll wake Son up...
I think I'm realizing Son is crossing another line into growing up, and I don't like it all that much.

I remember when I had my first loose tooth. I was still in pre-school, and I hid it from my parents because they had lectured me that my teeth wouldn't start to fall out until I was in kindergarten at least.
I can imagine the mixed emotions you're feeling.
