Photo of the week - toothless in Seattle

While not quite toothless, 4 teeth seems to be a crazy amount to have pulled at once.  Like a shark he was growing an extra row of teeth behind his baby ones, so the front ones had to go.  I was beside the dentist chair trying not to flinch with each yank.  C did amazing super tough and brave and honestly quite excited to finally lose some teeth.  From my perspective there was a lot of blood and that didn't seem to faze him. Driving home he mumbled that he needed new gauze and I looked back to see him looking like a vampire finishing a feeding frenzy with blood running out both sides of his mouth, down his chin.  Don't fear the picture of the week is much less gruesome and he has the cutest lisp now, I just think he is adorable - even in vampire form.

That's exactly how my second set came in. None of my kids did that , though.

While not a dream for Mom, how cool for C to say that he has shark teeth and that he looked like Dracula?

Lovin' the toothlessness!
