When I was in the first grade, my friend Stacy Weiss lost her two front teeth.?? Both at the same time.?? I was so envious.?? I prayed that I too would be the proud recipient of a??double gap toothed??smile.?? But alas…it was not to be.?? I lost them one at a time and was plenty disappointed.?? It just wasn’t the same.??

On Wed, I took Tanner to the dentist to have him look at the “snaggletooth”.?? Jim said I couldn’t call it that but I don’t know what else to call it.?? His baby tooth was protruding so much it was cutting his lip.?? I was concerned that the overcrowding was going to cause??bigger issues for his permanent teeth.?? The Dr. did an X-ray and then said “Well we might as well pull both because in a month you will be back in here with the same issue with the other tooth.”?? Then he asked me if I was okay with pulling both top teeth.?? As he asked this question, a vision of my past rose up in my minds eye.?? Yep.?? :)?? You guessed it.?? Stacy Weiss.?? I very quickly said “Pull em both!”?? 🙂

He looks so adorable and I think he knows it because he has been flashing me that brilliant grin all week.?? I am begging him not to let his permanent teeth grow in too fast.?? :)?? He thinks I am silly.?? I think he is even cuter than Stacy Weiss.?? 🙂

(This makes number 3 and 4 that he has lost now.?? The first two he lost in August/September).
