Ty's Adventures

I remember when Ty cut his first tooth...

My cousin, Jen, was watching him (it must have been a Wednesday) for the first time... I came home and she told me that he was so cute with his new little tooth...

And I stared at her... Saying, "Ty doesn't have a tooth!"

And she said, "Sure he does, stick your finger in his mouth!" Which I did. And found the tooth.

Hours later, I would realize I had cut a tooth as well... My first wisdom tooth (and only!)... Which would later be extracted... In the first surgery I was every knocked out for...

When I saw Ty on Friday, I was thrilled to realize he is finally growing teeth in the front... (I love his little lisp!)

Tonight, I had him to myself for dinner... He told me that the inside of his mouth hurt, and he kept trying to show me the inside of his left cheek, asking if it's "white"... It took me several minutes to realize it wasn't his cheek that was bothering him... It was his gum... Because he's got a 6-year-old molar coming in... Of course it hurts! Poor Bubba... And the one on the right side is poking at the gum, too. That one doesn't hurt him yet.

Of course, I told him that it was a molar that would fall out when he's twelve. But I was wrong(thanks, Internet!)... I'll have to tell him the truth in the morning...

I love that I was the one to figure it out this time.
