A New Smile

I feel like a chapter in my little guy's life is closing and another one is beginning. In the past week or so, Sean has had his first front tooth come in! Now this is exciting because it has been a LONG time since he has had a front tooth in this spot -- almost exactly *4* years! This was the tooth that he had pulled during dental surgery when he was 3 years old. You can see more about that here. Shortly after he had the surgery which removed one of the front teeth and had a root canal and cap on the other front tooth (along with 3 other teeth), he was at preschool and while playing on the dinosaur on the playground, he whacked his mouth and lost the Very Expensive Other Front Tooth. So for a long time now, he has had NO front teeth. I think it is going to take me a while to get used to this new look for him. See for yourself:


Side note: the dinosaur that he lost other tooth on, was part of our preschool's former playground. It had a lot of memories, Ahren played on it when she went to Creative and then Sean. Even tho' we now have a beautiful new playground without the dinosaur, I'm happy to say that the dinosaur lives at the house of one of my former students. I'm so glad that he's not at the bottom of a dump somewhere. :)
