First Lost Tooth!

Last night we reach other mile-stone in child rearing. After about a month and a half of wiggling and jiggling, Sam lost his first tooth!!

If you look REALLY hard, you'll see a little white speck in his hand. Oh, and also notice that Sam's eyes are closed. He seems to think that closing his eyes for pictures is really funny. We were lucky in the above pic.

In this next picture you might be able to see that the permanent tooth is already grown in quite a bit. In fact, we noticed it growing in before the baby tooth started getting all that loose. It's about 2-3 millimeters behind where the baby tooth was. Kind of weird, but there's not much that is normal about Sam's teeth. The dentist has already told us we should take him in to an orthodontist when he turns 7 or 8. He has cross bites, over bites, extremely narrow bridges, and who knows what else. We do have a savings account for him, maybe we should rename it the dental account. Oh brother-in-law John, why couldn't you be an Orthodontist!?!

Rachel-
John likes blood and gore. Ortho is "clean handed" dentistry. Not exciting enough for him I'm sorry. But if Sam needs some gum surgery, send him on over. John will be nice, ..I think.
