Ryan's losing his 1st baby teeth!
A couple of nights ago, we discovered that Ryan's 2 lower front teeth are loose and the adult teeth are cutting through. He's so excited about losing his baby teeth. This was very unexpected for us. Isn't this early? I'm feeling very sad about it. He's going through a rite of passage as he leaves babyhood and becomes a boy. It also makes me feel old because my 1st baby is no longer a baby. Nevertheless, I'm taking full advantage of this opportunity to tell him that once his adult teeth come in, he can't act like a baby anymore...no more whining and complaining and he has to take good care of his little sister. =) He seriously looked at me with big round eyes and said "ok." I'll be posting an update soon.
Wow, it's been 3 months since this post. Even though this is old news, better late than never. Ryan lost his 1st front teeth 2 weeks after this post. The 2nd front tooth was lost at school 3 weeks after this post when one of his classmates elbowed him in the mouth and his tooth fell out into the playground. Ryan's teacher was kind enough to involve the entire class to dig through the tanbark. Unfortunately, it was never found, but it was a good team building exercise!

Already??!! Wow--another one of those "my baby's growing up" milestones... I don't think Colin's teeth are going anywhere yet, but we've definitely read stories about kids losing teeth. I'm sure he'll be interested to hear about Ryan's experience up close!
