Solly’s Front Teeth

So we’re had a LOT of surgery talk recently. February is not a gentle month for us. Not for a second. But I cannot not share with you some of the funnies along the way. And the CUTEST thing happened on Monday.

Well. It didn’t start cute.

The kids came home in a bit of a fury, which is always hard on everyone. They were fighty, had reading to do, backpacks to unpack, valentines to fill out, chores, etc etc etc. It was NOT smooth, but we were making it. Once Rowan was done his reading, he headed to do valentines, and Solly asked if it was his turn to read. I was pretty beat at that point, and told him he could finish his cards first. But he wanted to read. So he read. Two books, in fact. Then he brought me his day planner to sign, and upon opening it, I found a small ziploc bag taped inside it, holding a TOOTH! I looked at Sol, and he was very clearly missing a front tooth! I whooped and made a scene about it, while also being internally riddled with guilt from clearly not even having looked at his face since he got in the door. Man.

As I was making a whole big scene about his missing front tooth, it was clear that his other front tooth was hanging by a thread. I asked if he wanted me to take it out, and he said no. I had already pulled a kleenex, so I just passed it to him, and he incredibly casually reached up and pulled it out easily.

We are left with this!

So we have been LOVING this, hahaha! Solly is rocking an incredible lisp ever since, and the best thing about that is that he also enjoys it, hahaha!

Now to just add some glasses to this look 🙌😍
