Tooth #3

On Saturday, we started packing up for our Easter Trip to spend time with family in Murfreesboro. Christopher's upper front tooth had been loose for a couple of weeks and by this day it was SO loose that it was literally hanging by a thread. It was SO gross-looking!! He sat down to have a snack of Cheetos and I was sitting next to him. I heard something hit the couch and I just knew that it was a cheeto...getting ready to fuss cause I knew the orange stuff was going to be on the couch...I looked down, and there it was....it was THE tooth!!! It just fell out of his mouth. We both just looked at each other in shock and then cracked up laughing. Here is a picture of the proud boy with a gaping huge hole for an apparent huge tooth that is getting ready to make it's debut!!

He was so proud!! And I was so happy that it was finally out of his mouth :)

This is a funny story that goes along with Christopher losing his tooth. On Easter morning, Christopher was getting dressed for church with a little (LOT) assistance from Me-Mommy. For some reason the child really dislikes dressy clothes. He has worn them every Sunday for his entire life...you think he'd be used to it by now...but No, he is not. I guess he will fight it forever....anyway, on to the story. Mom finally talked him into his slacks, shirt, and tie...then a little gel in the hair, and a little bit of Daddy T's cologne...he was ready to go. He backed up, looking in the mirror, gave the mirror his crooked little smile, and said "Hmmm, I think I look pretty good without a tooth!"
I totally cracked up when she told me that...THAT is pretty funny!! I guess there are a lot of adults out there that think they look pretty good without a tooth too!! As for me, I will always have teeth in my head...whether real or fake...they will be there!!!

Next Post....Easter Sunday, what a great day!
