Mouth
One of the front teeth in the Mouth of Nooze is extremely loose. One side of it is completely out, while the other side remains stubbornly rooted in her gums. No amount of poking, prodding or twisting will set it free.When she smiles, the tooth prods out over her lip jaggedly, threatening to snag on sandwiches, cookies, or perhaps even air.
I have taken to calling her Nanny McPhee.
Yep, therapy is probably a given for this kid.

Heh. Actually, I'd posit that therapy is LESS likely for your kid. Considering what I read about you, and the genetics involved (I'll not forget that mother's day post any time soon).
Rock on, sister.
Ewwww... it totally skeeves me when their teeth get all floppy like that. Buddy had one that resisted falling out for soooo long, it was ridiculous!
Dental floss and a swinging door. I'm jus' sayin'.
Awww -- I love that age!!! Isn't it funny how adorable a child looks with snaggle teeth, yet how horrendous an adult looks with the same?
Just don't yank it out with vice grips. Trust me on that one.
I always offered to take car of the problem."Go down iin the basement to the big tool box. Get the Channel Lock pliers, and bring them here."
Somehow the tooth always managed to come out before it got anywhere near the pliers
Poor Nooze. I hope it's not painful...
way to prepare her for High School.
Oh it'll come out. And kids never lose their teeth on payday week.
AHahahahahaaa!!!! Nanny McPhee! Hee!
That kid is going to have a spectacularly arch sense of humor, if exposure to it is any indication.
At Casa Tiff, we're goign through the last of the tooth-losing years, and I'm here to tell you that THIS mama will be glad to see the last gross, bloody, goopy, twisty snaggle go. Some of them take forEVER to come out.... necessitating an all soft-foods diet until the afflicted child yanks to tooth out of their OWN mouth (cuz mama doesn't get anywhere NEAR that shizz, yo).
With the money the Tooth Fairy doles out these days, kids can take a little ribbing. Back in my day she only left a quarter; now it's US Treasury notes.
I'm betting any child of yours has a wonderful sense of humor. Is the tooth still hanging?
Thanks for your repsonse to my latest post. Your advice is well taken for sure. The change and change-again orders are mountainous but signed. Also lots of photographs have been taken.
this job has lasted 17 months already and the end is totatlly in sight. He says he can stick it out. I'd like him to walk off in a fit of rage and that is why he does not let me handle public relations.
I'm thinking about our vacation route and remembering what you said about WVa and the music festivals.
I am thinking therapy will be required for all children. They are just too funny, not to be given some teasing.
Hannah's lost 2 bottom teeth (mostly grown back in now) and is feverishly working at a top one...I personally don't think it's ready, and it gives her a cockeyed grin, since the tooth only moves BACKWARDS...but hey...SHE'S the one who is messing with "corn on the cob season"...not ME!
