Parker's First Baby Tooth Lost!
Yeay!! After almost two months since his permanent tooth started showing, Parker's baby tooth got pretty, loose, hung in there a day or two, and today, thanks to the help of two peaches, back to back, it came out! At first I thought Parker swallowed it with the peach, but it was on the floor, looking like a piece of lint. I was surprised -- it seems hollow inside, with almost no root. A quick look of two on Google, and my fears are allayed -- no partial tooth still stuck in his mouth. Thankfully, now, that permanent tooth can start to fill in to its own space, and not continue to grow sideways!!
Oh, and Parker claims the tooth next to this one feels loose too! A true sign that he's moving on to that more awkward middle adolescence age ..... help!!
