Teeth, Teeth, Teeth


Last week I was flossing Adam's teeth, when I noticed that another permanent tooth was growing in behind a baby tooth.

Seriously? Again?!?

And since this baby tooth wasn't one bit loose, he had to go in today to the dentist and have it pulled. He did great, and is incredibly excited about the tooth fairy coming tonight.

The last time she came she left $1 under his pillow and some magic gold fairy dust (glitter) sprinkled all over the bed and to the window. I thought it was very magical and fairy-like and cool.

Adam woke up and asked, "How come the fairy left all of this fairy poop on my bed and floor?"

What a horrible thing to say about fairy dust! Sigh. I need Grace to lose her teeth so that someone can be excited about magical kind of stuff. (I mean, when she's older. I don't want her teeth knocked out or something.)

Also, question for all of you: what do you DO with the baby teeth? I have the last one Adam lost in my drawer, and I just can't throw it away. But at the same time, that's super-gross and I know he's never going to want it, you know?

Adam, you were very brave, and I hope the tooth fairy leaves no poop this time! You are very good to take such good care of your teeth!
