Four out of five dentists recommend . . .

Today, we went to the dentist.
The boys had a cleaning and some not-so-great news.
Isaac needs braces, sooner than later, to correct an under bite and the mysterious disappearance of his bicuspids.
Josiah's mouth looked good, but his big teeth are starting to grow in behind his still intact baby teeth.
He may have to have a few teeth pulled. The doc is giving him until August to work a few of 'em over and evict them from their present abode in his sweet gums.
As if right on cue, the one lose tooth he had (his first one ever!!) fell out right after we were done eating our Sabarro's Pizza in the mall food court!!
It's his first lost tooth!
Well, his first official lost tooth.
He lost one of his side front teeth when he was three, after biting into an apple.
So, the tooth fairy will visit us tonight.
Her husband will provide the dollars for under the pillow, of course.
She will kiss his forehead.
She will look at him for a long time.
She may cry, but just a little bit.
She will breathe in the smell of the six year old boy.
She will mark this momentous occasion with a notch in her heart.
(sorry the pics are so blurry. the tooth is so small, I had a hard time focusing on it.)
