Teeth
Calder hasn't lost any teeth for almost a year, but that has changed in the last few weeks! He has his mom's long rooted teeth so wiggling isn't always fun and pulling up is necessary.
Calder has already lost the front bottom two teeth so now the ones next to those are getting ready to make way for bigger teeth. That little tooth on his bottom left front took nearly 3 weeks to finally pop out - it was over due so there was minimal bleeding but help was needed pulling it out. Then the very next day he says, "Mom I have another loose tooth!" This was surprising since the other three teeth had months between them. Low and behold, less than 4 days later his top right front tooth comes out, but there is a fun story to go with it.
We had just been down at Grandma Kathy's and Calder loves doing chores for money - so he had some serious cash, about $2.50. We live a street behind a grocery store so Calder declares, "I want to stop at the bakery and buy a huge doughnut with my money from chores". It was after 3pm so the doughnuts were marked down to 40cents instead of 75cents - so Phaelen got one too. We are headed home in the car and just as we pull into the driveway Calder says, "Mom, I think I ate my tooth. My mouth is bleeding!" I have to admit that I had mentioned (okay teased) that he might swallow his tooth biting into something because it was so loose and to be careful. Luckily, he still wanted to eat his doughnut and saw his tooth still stuck in there. Phaelen thought this was hilarious and with the two of them laughing they re-enacted the whole ordeal to emphasize how funny it really was. Plus every time Calder showed someone he lost another tooth the entire story had to be retold. So the tooth was saved - and doughnuts now have a funny memory in our family.
P.S. I may have to update this picture again soon because the bottom right front tooth is really loose now too!
