A Tooth Story


Within a day or so of one another, both Dillan and Drew have had some changes in their chompers. Drewby has cut his two bottom teeth and Dillan's bottom right tooth is loose! Drew is always so easy going and happy, so he hasn't been too out-of-sorts with those teeth poking through, but the signs of teething are there. He likes to bite now, I wonder how that is working for him with his thumb-sucking!

Dillan has been waiting a LONG time to get a loose tooth. Well, not THAT long, but he's watched so many friends and classmates lose their teeth, he wondered when it would be his turn! He was so excited to show me his loose tooth, and I confirmed it was, in fact, loose. Since that day, nearly a week ago, he hasn't really mentioned it. I think the thought of the tooth coming out makes him a little nervous, but he's not saying so. Everyday I ask him how it's moving and if he wiggles it, which I don't think he does very much, if at all. I don't remember my loose teeth ever taking very long to come out, probably because I wouldn't ever leave them alone. So we'll see what happens and how Dillan deals with it. Hopefully after this first one comes out, he'll be less nervous the next time around. It may give me some time to get a tooth pillow or pocket made!
