Well… it only took 8 years, 8 months, 3 weeks, and 5 days… but our Eli FINALLY lost one of his front top teeth. (Yes, that Lilypie ticker over there really does come in handy sometimes!)
This wasn’t his first one to lose, but not far from it. He lost his bottom two teeth back to back, just a few days after school started this year. Other than that he’s still sporting a mouth full of baby teeth.
My guess is that second top tooth won’t be far behind. I absolutely LOVE the ‘toothless’ grin, and he wears it well. Hopefully we’ll get to enjoy it for awhile before the permanent teeth break through. Probably unlikely, I know, given the child is already almost NINE! I’m going to enjoy it while I can though!
Our middle child is growing up. {Sniff}.
For the record, I have to add that even though Eli came bounding through the door this afternoon with his prize tooth secured in an envelope (bless his 2nd grade teacher!)…. he has since LOST it somewhere in the house.
I’m sure one of the littles will find it tomorrow. Any predictions on what they might do with it?
