Finally the Loss We Have Been Waiting On!

Not too many people look forward to loss. Loss makes us think of losing loved ones, or even something like misplacing a treasured belonging. It could mean hair loss after a treatment or loss of hearing or sight. But the loss I am referring to is the loss of a tooth.

Finally... Carson lost a tooth. Seven soon to turn eight on August 23, Carson has been waiting and waiting. All his cousins and friends were losing teeth, not him. When would it be his turn he asked? Of course the only answer I could give him was that it would come in God's perfect timing.

His tooth was loose before we went on vacation to Mt. Rushmore. He had hoped to lose it at Mt. Rushmore, even took the tooth pillow his Omi had given him, just in case. But his loss came last week while his cousin Sara Anna was visiting us. I had a terrible headache much of the week so I had not joined the crew on the trip to Chuck E. Cheese. It was on the trip there that he lost it. A very excited Carson called me to let me know the tooth was out. An exciting loss for sure. See pictures. His tooth had taken so long to come out the new tooth was already starting to come in behind it. We are praying that won't cause any future dental problems.
