Well, let's back up a couple days to 12-30-08. Gabe has lost his two bottom teeth, and the two top teeth are getting really wiggly. I was out grocery shopping so we would have food for our visitors. I called Doug at one point to ask about chili sauce and beans. (We were having chili and Doug is the chili maker. I couldn't understand what I had written down about how many cans of which to get.) So, I here Gabe wailing in the background and asked Doug what happened. He didn't know, because Gabe had just started the hysterics. I let him go to investigate and told him to call me back. Well, he finally got part of the story from Gabriel and Anna. Apparently o
ne of Anna's beanie babies made its way into Gabe's mouth. ??? Anna wanted it back, so she gave it a big yank. Out flew Samson and out flew one of Gabe's top teeth. It wasn't quite ready, so it hurt and it was bleeding a little. Hence the hysterics... I am a horrible mom, but I couldn't help laughing when Doug told me. How many times do we parents tell our kids not to do something and yet they still do?? This time it proved that mom was actually right!
So, now we still have one tooth on the top. But, it has tried to take over the entire spot of both teeth and it is hanging sideways because one side was really loose. So, he looked so funny, yet so cute going through this phase. Now, we are at New Year's Day. And you know from my previous post that my sister is here visiting. She is a nurse and her kids are older, so she has bee
n through this already. Doug and I were looking at Gabe's tooth in the bathroom and she wanted to see also. Well, she took a tissue and just pulled it out. Gabriel was horrified and had a little waterworks. Apparently it was stuck just a bit, so it hurt a little. He told Aunt Wendy that it hurt and he was mad at her. Once again, I am holding back laughing at him, but I did hold it in because he was being so sincere about it. I think he likes sticking his tongue through the front "hole". So, he is missing all the 4 front baby teeth and he looks so different to me.
This past Wednesday Doug and Gabe went to get haircuts and Jack noticed that a bottom tooth was already started to poke through the gum. I looked yesterday and saw that both are sta
rting to poke through. Gabe thinks that is just so silly!!
Now, about the picture of Anna. She wanted her teeth to fall out also. She kept telling us that her teeth were loose and made us check them to see if they were ready. So, I decided to humor her and take her picture each time we took Gabe's.

Tell Gabe he should be happy Aunt Wendy didn't use string and a doorknob to get his tooth out. That really hurts!
