Well, it's official. The kid has no front teeth.
He lost one of them on our way back from Vail over the summer, and this other one has been wiggling since then. In the last week, it's gotten looser and looser until it looked like it was falling out. Anthony offered to "help" him get it out, but Jacks refused.
Last night at dinner, he showed me that it was just hanging on by one little corner. He kept trying to bite into his food with it, but that seemed to hurt. I asked him whether he'd tried just grabbing it and trying to pull it.
"I can't, watch!" He took hold of it with two fingers and gave it a good yank. Well, it came right out in his hand. He looked SO surprised, he couldn't believe it!
Jacks was so excited to get to use his special tooth pillow again, and of course, the tooth fairy visited and brought him one of her special gold dollars. Fancy!
He's also enjoying the fact that he can't say the word, "the." Teehee!
I hope the gap stays for a while. I'll miss it when it's gone. :)
