My grin has changed!

Written on 27th January 2009

Seems like just yesterday that my baby had a gummy grin. Then came the beautification of Chubbocks with lovely even white milk teeth. Made a handsome devil out of him!

Then a few weeks ago, Chubbocks came home with a wide grin and told me with great excitement, "Mamma, my tooth is moving. I'm so happy!"

All his friends at school had one or two teeth either loose or fallen and he couldn't wait to join the gang.

His front tooth had been moving quite a bit since then and every day, Chubbocks would spend hours in front of the mirror, manoeuvering it back and forth and watching it intently as if he could will it to fall.

Today he burst into the house, his face a beam of pride and joy.

"Abba, my tooth fell in school! There was a mountain of blood in my mouth!" He held out a pearly little tooth for us to see.
It was true!

My baby is growing up!
