Yeah. All of that? Never Mind.
About a week ago I was looking at the baby and thought I saw something where the tooth used to be. It was after his bath, he wasn't exactly cooperative and the light wasn't perfect. Then there were a couple of nights waking up with screeches of "OWWWWIEEEEE". Sunday there was no mistaking it.
The tooth came back! Suck on THAT Tooth Fairy!
The most-grieved over front tooth never came out. Somehow, almost magically, according to the pediatric dentist I took him to yesterday, he fell at just the right angle to push that baby tooth directly up into the space in his gums. He did this without damaging any of his other teeth.
The dentist expects it will fall back into place naturally. She doesn't expect that it will fall out ceremoniously one day with absolutely no notice when I least expect it.
Can I get an up-high for all my gap-toothed polish relatives? Thanks a lot gene pool. I owe you one.
