LaLaGirl – Twinfinite Chaos! Parenting Multiples and Dealing with Autism

I know, right now you’re thinking to yourself that LaLaGirl has become All Loose Teeth, All The Time. Not another post about a lost tooth! But what can I say? I have a lot of kids. They have a lot of teeth. And this one was a MILESTONE tooth – look at the size of that gap!

Mallory had one of her front teeth come out a few days ago. It didn’t come out on its own, though – nope! Mama had to rip that sucker right out of her skull. At least, that’s what you’d think I did, based on her reaction! So many tears, so much drama. Her tooth was dangling by a thread, and flapping around in her mouth so much, I was afraid it would fall out during the night and she’d choke on it. She was starting to become pretty bothered by it as well, and finally asked me to pull it for her. It came out SO easy, but it bled quite a bit, which freaked her out. The tooth fairy brought her THREE BUCKS for all the trouble it caused her.

But look how cute she is! I love little kids with gap-toothed smiles! One of my favorite, framed pictures of Kayley is her smiling, toothless, 6-year-old face. I have it in black and white, hanging up in the dining room. Now we’re just waiting on the one next to it! It’s pretty loose, too. I anticipate we’ll have more crying, drama, and whistling S sounds in our house, very soon.

Yesterday, after lunch, the kids were playing outside on their pirate ship play structure. I heard Pablo start hollering that scary, hurt cry, and I ran out to see what was up. He was BAWLING in pain, and scared. I thought he fell from the top of the slide or something – nope, he was eating an apple and his tooth came out! It wasn’t even loose! His permanent teeth have already grown in behind the baby teeth, so I’ve been hoping they’d loosen up! He was SO freaked out and sad – he found his tooth on the ground and tried to reinsert it. Haha! Poor bug.

He was trying to make himself feel better – he started swinging again, really high – but crying the whole way. He kept hollering, “I need ice! I’m sorry, tooth! I’m sorry!” It was kind of heartbreaking and funny all at once. Poor kid!

The tooth fairy visited our house and brought a Lego set for Pablo. Just a little one, with a few people, a traffic signal, and several signs. It’s adorable, and exactly the sort of thing he LOVES. That tooth fairy, she just knows exactly what to bring! He was sad to leave it behind when it was time to go to school!
