After 5 years of having teeth taken from him, Henry lost his first tooth naturally!
He has been missing his top front teeth for some time. The first came out when he was about a year an a half old. Mom and dad were going to the temple and dropped Henry off at our wonderful neighbor, Joy McKnight's, house. We hadn't even arrived at the temple yet when we got a phone call from Joy saying that Henry had had an accident and knocked his front tooth out on the bathroom sink. Dad took Henry to the ER to make sure he was fine and Henry made it out with a fat lip.
The second upper front came out when Henry was about 4. He was jumping on the trampoline with his cousins at Grammy's house. Henry's face collided with Rex Cole's head and Henry's tooth snapped in half and got shoved up into the gum. Rex was fine (hard headed little bugger). Henry went into the dentist (they were good friends by now) and had to have it removed. Henry was a champ and didn't mind the minor surgery because he was mildly sedated. He even looked at me and said, "Mom, this isn't so bad."
So, at last there is some normalcy in the world of Henry's mouth. May the rest be as painless and event-less. We don't need any more dental bills.
YIIPY FOR HENRY! Can't wait to see him tomorrow
ReplyDeleteHey Goods! I saw your blog on the Lawlors, hope you don't mind... It's great to hear about what is going on in your family. We sure miss the good people of the Beverly Ward! Take Care, Smouts
ReplyDeleteHenry, you look great. Congratulations on your first "normal" tooth loss. Can you say "webcam"? Tell your parents you want a webcam to talk to Grandma and Grandpa. I'm sure they'll get one for you.
ReplyDeleteUnbelievable! Henry and I must be kindred spirits. As a kid I damaged my top front tooth 2 times. I was less fortunate than Henry, as mine was permanent. Best wishes for safety and dental security! First injury to the tooth was jumping on a pogo ball on the asphalt, tooth verses ground equals broken tooth. Second offense? Sharks and the Minnows swimming in our pool. When the shark jumps in on a minnow it isn't pretty.
