violent teeth

caloway lost his first 2 teeth this week! i've been routinely checking his mouth, to see if anything was starting to come loose, and those tiny little biters haven't budged. last monday, he was complaining about his mouth hurting, so i peeked in there, and lo and behold! there was a brand-new tooth fully emerged behind his bottom 2 teeth.

since the two baby teeth weren't loose, we headed

to the dentist. both bottom ones had to be pulled, poor baby :( those suckers weren't even RIPE! caloway very carefully stored his teeth in 2 tiny treasure chests, and placed them in a little baggie under his pillow. hooray! tooth fairy came to the rescue! $2 later, here's my little guy:

first day back to school yesterday, caloway told me:

cal - "mom, at school, there's another boy with violent teeth like me!"

me - "violent teeth?"

cal - "yeah! he has a violent tooth like mine!"

me - "do you think it's violent because it's pointy?"

cal, looking exasperated, - "yeah! violent teeth!"

okay.
