after all this time waiting, joseph has finally lost some teeth without the assistance of a surgeon. back in 2015, a few days after his third birthday, he fell and smacked his teeth into concrete. after a few months, the nerves in his teeth became infected and he developed an abscess above each tooth, which required immediate removal. thanks to the wonderful team at princess margaret hospital it was taken care of pretty quickly, but he has had a giant hole in his mouth ever since.
now that hole is even bigger, as his bottom teeth fell out this week... two days in a row! i couldn't believe it, but he is happy as a lark - and to be honest, i am pretty stoked, because it means it can't be too much longer before his adult teeth grow in up top. can't wait to see my little man with teeth again!
so... funny story. he carefully left his teeth out for the tooth fairy. the first night she was on the ball and came and collected it no problem. the second night she forgot. oh dear. but i was quick with my response. oh honey, the tooth fairy is very busy... maybe she just hasn't been yet! then quickly went into his room with the same $2 from the day before, did the swap and got out of there. i asked him 10 minutes later if she had been yet and he yelled "yessssss! she left me 2 dollars!" nice save there huh! haha.
well, little one... i can't wait to see you with teeth!
