Hunter lost another tooth tonight. I did't even think it was that loose. I was feeding the baby when I heard him yell "Mom!" in a panicked voice. My stomach dropped as I yelled back "What?" There was a momentary pause. You never know what it will be when Hunter is involved. My tooth fell out!! I let out the air I was holding. Phew! Worse things have happened around here. Then I started panicking that maybe it was a permanent tooth he lost. After inspecting his mouth, I was once again relieved that it was his front top baby tooth that fell out. He lost the other one a while ago. When we were at the dentist last week, the dentist asked if his other front tooth had gotten knocked out. I told him it had just fallen out on its own. He said he was surprised because they usually come out fairly close together. As you can see, his adult tooth has been here for a while. I asked Hunter what he was doing that it fell out all of a sudden without being very loose. He said he was putting his teeth on a cardboard box and moving his head back and forth and he did it hard on accident and it just popped out. Obviously it was ready and is probably my being pushed out by the new tooth coming in, but leave it to Hunter to knock his tooth out by biting a cardboard box. He has always been my most orally fixated child. So thankfully the Tooth Fairy will not forget him tonight since I went to check my calendar for tomorrow and my camera popped right up since the last thing I did on my phone was take this picture. The Tooth Fairy has forgotten our kids a few times. It makes me feel like a failure the next morning when they come to me and say in a sad voice, "the tooth fairy didn't come last night!" Tomorrow will not be one of those mornings! Tomorrow I will feel like a good mom!
