After literally months of wondering when Jon’s two wiggly front teeth were going to come out, they finally — finally! — did. Late June we were predicting that things would be happening soon, as a huge gap started developing along the left front incisor (the better to give the adult tooth a fighting chance to come in straight-ish). Then the tooth started getting longer and looser as it was pushed out by the adult tooth underneath. Peter said it looked like a country store sign, a flappin’ away in the wind.

The tooth came out on July 4 and Jon was much happier, as he could now eat more comfortably…for a few days.

Won’t take long for the big tooth to come in!

Almost immediately his right incisor started getting really loose, and it finally gave up the ghost on July 18.

Unfortunately there’s no huge gap on the side of that tooth, so it’ll be veerry interesting to see how his new teeth will fit. If Peter’s orthodontal history is any indication, we’re in for some very expensive times ahead…
