[Vaulting over the myriad of posts that are backlogged, most importantly the one about SPL becoming a big brother -- but this is breaking news]
His gap toothed grin is a thing of the past making way for the beginnings of what will be his grown up smile. Tonight John pulled out the tooth that had been hanging by a thread for many days.
SPL has been closing many nights with the words "maybe we can pull it out tomorrow" and then when tomorrow finally came, he would bail out and postpone it once again. Well tonight was the night!
The other one isn't far behind either (it was slated to be first but got cut off when the now fallen tooth got an unexpected, fast forwarding, knee bump last week).
In the end, SPL was very excited to have lost it and came running downstairs to tell me and ZBL, who was asleep on my lap. SPL said "Now I'm looking more like you, Z!" :-)
He dropped the newly lost tooth into his
for the Tooth Fairy to find tonight and ran off to bed. Hooray!
