Tooth Fairy Wanted

May 6, 2010

We kicked off May with Ava getting her very first wobbly tooth which seemed early given she doesn’t turn 5 until the 15th. She freaked out initially thinking it was because of all the lollies she’d eaten (our warnings of too much sugar is bad for your teeth certainly paid off) but when we explained it was because she is growing up her little chest puffed out and she was proud as punch. It’s funny to see the baby teeth shifting to make room for a bigger one coming up. This wobbling could go on for some time so we’ll just have to wait & see when it falls out.

Earlier in the week Nero was chewing his big marrow bone outside and next minute there was blood everywhere. He has snapped his long canine tooth in half and had to have surgery today to remove it. All will be fine in a few days but we are nursing one sad & sore hound at the moment.

And finally, our little man Tate has sprouted his first toothy peg today. Bottom left tooth has just made a slight appearance through his gum and we can feel a little sharp peg there. All the weeks of dribbling finally produced something. Seems like only yesterday he was born and now we’ve got the start of teeth & solids. Time goes so fast!

So we’ll need to get a 2nd job to boost the Tooth Fairy’s purse strings this month. Crazy times
