Another one bites the dust....

J lost another tooth last night. 2nd one in the last 3 weeks or so. And once again K was the puller outer.

It was pretty loose and when he asked someone to yank it she of course was the first to shoot up her hand. It is borderline sadistic how much pleasure she gets out of yanking his teeth out. But tissue in hand she went in, twisted and pulled. And there it was! Now he has a bigger space on the bottom with his two teeth missing.

Upon closer inspection this morning the first space has a bit of the new tooth coming through, looks to be in the right spot. Then, oh no, say it isn't so. There is the bit of the 2nd tooth poking through too. But not where it should be. Too far back and wickedly angled. NOOOOOOOO!

I really thought after 2 kids in retainers that he would be my freebie. I know that it could move, it is truly too early to tell but I have a bad feeling that just as we are about to be done paying for Kylie's retainer we'll have to start a payment on his. Ugh. Do you have any idea what kind of Disney trip we could take on what we've spent on retainers already? Deluxe baby, it could have been a deluxe. But they'll have straight smiles for all those future Value trips which is the consolation.

On a sad note my boy, my Tom Brady, down for the count. I couldn't believe it yesterday. How could he get hurt first quarter, first game? And how can it be so bad that they are saying he'll be out all year?? Hoping that is just part of how the Patriots roll, they tend to be stingy with information and could very well just be saying that. But I'm kidding myself, I think he really is out for good. Matt Cassel, this is your moment. I think back to when Bledsoe was taken out and in came Tom Brady and we all said, who's he? Look at how his destiny changed that day. Could it be the same for Cassel? This could be his moment. My advice Cassel, don't blow it. New England fans are intense, we'll love you or we'll despise you. There isn't much in the middle. Make us feel the love Cassel! At least till our Golden Boy comes back.

YAY for J! My {e} hasn't lost any teeth yet. Not even a loose one in the bunch. We're headed to the dentist tomorrow, where I know we'll be referred to the orthodontist for {m}. ARGH!

And that's too bad about Tom Brady (cough-cough). No really, I do feel bad that he got hurt. What a shame. But it's kinda good for the rest of us...lol.
