All I Want For Christmas...

Ethan lost his 6th tooth last night and is now missing his front two teeth!! This second front tooth has been loose for weeks, but he wanted to lose it at school b/c a friend of his lost her tooth at school and she got a plastic tooth necklace to carry her tooth home in!! He's been so cautious taking bites on the side and avoiding the use of his front teeth. But last night while watching TV he took a bite of licorice without thinking and he just looked at me and closed his mouth. When I made him open, there was blood everywhere. But he wanted to keep it in for school!! It wouldn't stop bleeding, so Donnie pulled it. I can't believe he is missing so many teeth!! He loves sticking his tongue through the gaps, but has expressed some concern that he is going to turn back into a baby b/c he doesn't have many teeth!! The tooth fairy gave him $2, which he immediately gave Carter $1 and kept $1 for himself. He said it wasn't fair for Carter not to get anything!

He lost four on the bottom, but two have already grown in and a third is almost there!
