With Clumsy Comes the Fairy

Our Noah is many things...funny, silly, sweet and loving. Another thing he is for sure is CLUMSY. Noah is the kid that is sitting in his chair one second and randomly on the floor the next. He's the kid that has mastered the hat-trick: smacking his chin on the table AND the chair AND the floor as he falls. He falls from sitting, walking, running...you name it, it takes him down.

After a couple of falls this week, he finally has a semi-permanent repercussion: today (at age 3.5) he lost his first tooth. The dentist took x-rays today (before it popped out) and said that his front two top teeth have very small roots (likely from multiple traumas), and we should expect both to fall out soon. The adult teeth won't come in any sooner...so I'm thankful that he doesn't need to eat his favorite meal of cereal from a cob.



Last night I tried to get a picture of his very wiggly, jacked-up tooth.






Mom, thanks for hooking Noah up with his tooth-holder!! He was SO excited to use it!

oh poor noah!! i bet having a missing tooth makes him feel more grown up though :-) do you think it'll be like 3 years before it grows back in!?!?
