The baby finally lost his other front tooth. It hung in there, literally, for a couple of weeks. I kept trying to pull it but there was one little piece that wouldn’t let go, but a stray smack to the face in gym class today did the trick. (I am not a fan of the kid who delivered the dental blow but I’ll let it go this once.) It’s hard to see the nice big gap the way he’s smiling, but trust me. The cute. It’s ridiculous. And I totally hadn’t thought of the endless entertainment of making him say “s” words until he mentioned wanting to read a “Dr. Theuth” book. And since I’m such a nice mom:
I’m taking requests.
Anyway, I’ll probably be pretty scarce ’round these parts until next week. Classes end this week, then the baby’s birthday is on Saturday, I’m going to a baby shower on Sunday, then I have a final and an article due on Monday. Then I’ll probably collapse for a day or two.
You have got to get video of him singing, “All I Want for Christmas is My Two Front Teeth” because that would be CHEESETACULAR!

I think you were actually teaching him to work around the missing teeth — by the end, his esses were better than yours!

Basically, have him repeat any line from a Sean Connery movie that you know the writers dropped in the minute they heard he’d been cast just to screw with him.
Example:
THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER:
“I preshent to you the Shoviet Ballishtic Misshile Classh Shubmarine RED OCTOBER.”
