Finally!! A Lost Tooth and, Maybe, Braces?






As you can see, Alex is on cloud nine!  He has FINALLY lost a tooth!  It was only a week and a half shy of his 7th birthday.  And, Alex is officially the last one in this first grade class to have lost a tooth and, to our knowledge, may have been the last one in the entire first grade at his school.  It has been a long time coming, but the Tooth Fairy finally arrived at our home!
If you look closely, you may see that the whole reason that tooth finally fought free.  His permanent tooth is already popping up and ready to take that baby tooth's space.  Unfortunately, it seems oddly out of place.  It seems that Alex's perfectly aligned and spaced baby teeth have been no indication the placement of his permanent teeth.  I'm no orthodontist, but I would say braces are in his future!
