More milestones

Connor has lost his first tooth. It was actually his first two, and we are pretty sure he knocked them out himself!

Connor's lower front teeth were loose, for a few weeks. We'd been on daily alert to check them and see how close they were to coming out. With his strong bite reflex, retrieving a lost tooth from inside his mouth was going to be challenging. One fine morning, I saw that they were really, really loose, and wrote a note to his teacher and sent a baggie in with his school stuff in case he lost them and she could get them safely.

I arrived home from work, and they were gone! Both had fallen out! Christy said to me, "They were gone when he got off the bus. No blood, though." I raced over to his stroller and backpack, and there was nothing in it. Not even his notebook! They'd been so excited they'd forgotten to include it, I figured.

The plot thickened the next day - his teacher had no idea that he's lost his teeth.

So the only thing we can figure is that he lost them on the school bus home, and that either they were swallowed, or are rolling around on the floor of the bus, never to be left for the tooth fairy in the traditional way. Luckily for us, it did not seem to be very traumatic for him, and his top teeth are already loose we'll try again with the next one. Or ones.

Old School Video

 

Wandering in our photos today looking for a family picture (which I can't find) I did find this video from November 2005. Connor giggles a LOT in it. And when he's been having such a hard time lately, despite his happiness that school has started again, it makes me smile. Hope it makes you smile too. Have a great Sunday, all.
