Missing a Tooth...

Well, in the midst of my being sick, Caleb fell on his scooter. His tooth was barely hanging on, the root having cut throught he gum. It looked a little...gnarly (for lack of a better word). So, we let him take his pirate sword and patch to the ER. After waiting a long time, the doctor came in and told us that basically, the tooth just had to come out. So, we let Caleb pick some ice cream, and then Ben told him that he had to get the tooth out in order to be able to eat the ice cream. So, he got it out. So, my three year old is missing his front tooth. So sad...He is still adorable though, and has handled it with bravery and courage.

Well, he hasn't had a visit yet, but I told Ben he is going to have to get some ridiculous amount of money like $5 or something!

My nephew lost both of this front teeth at 3 years old from falling, and they decided not to do anything about it. Now he's finally growing his permanent teeth in their place at 5 years old.
