First Missing Tooth!

Boys are rough and tough and to be honest, I'm surprised we have made it this long without a horrific bloody episode of some sort. Like most five year old boys, my Blane adores performing tricks on our swing set out back, but this time yielded different results than anticipated. A back flip coupled with a knee to the mouth knocked his tooth right out. A busted lip and a nonprofessionally extracted tooth clearly led to massive amounts of blood, which understandably scared the daylight out of poor Blane! But he quickly decided it was "cool" to have lost his tooth (many of his older friends have lost theirs and he had been eagerly anticipating the day when he too would join their club). A quick trip to the dentist confirmed other loose teeth and the promise of big boy teeth to come. What is he not so crazy about?That his "vroom" car noises aren't sounding quite accurate....There you have it- I am officially the mom of a toothless boy!!!
