Snaggletooth *updated*
Posted in Kids-Family-Funnies-Etc

That is what grandpa has been calling Tank. It's fitting, I suppose... although I thought snaggletooth was that weird tooth that grows up in the top of your gums. But I guess the definition doesn't really matter. What grandpa meant is this...

Isn't he cute?! :-)
There are worse things than being called Snaggletooth. Poor Tank could lose that second tooth (which is VERY loose, by the way) and then be tormented with the song All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth... over and over and over and over again. Trust me! I speak from personal experience.
I was in the 3rd grade. Nope, I wasn't being teased by some meanies in public school... but by my dad and my older sister Coco. Yup, my own flesh and blood! (Coco, you are so fun to pick on! hehehee) The teasing was so bad and incessant, I refused to show my teeth when I smiled. I have a family picture to prove it too. Of course, I was then made fun of for my goofy smile in the aforementioned family picture... but I digress. Boo hoo. Poor me.
Anyhow, I actually like how they look and lisp when they lose their front teeth! It's waaay better than that super goofy smile they have when their giganto new front teeth come in and are too big for their still small mouth and smile. I don't know, which do you like better? No teeth or the too big rabbit looking teeth?
*update*
Well, Tank is very happy to report this!!!

i love it when they lose their front teeth. though not one at a time. my first daughter lost both hers at once and i thought it was so cute. but with my second daughter she is losing them slowly one at a time and it looks a little lopsided.

Very cute. My little one looked like that for a while. It makes me so sad when those perfect little baby teeth start falling out.
By the way, having grown up in Mississippi, we call that a "snaggletooth" also.

I ran into a wall and knocked out both of my two front teeth when I was 4! They didn't grow back until 4th grade. You can't imagine how many times I heard that song!

Very cute pictures! The missing teeth are ardorable, but the "big people" teeth are yet another sign of growing maturity. Sigh. We're already onto the braces stage at my house . . .
I just started blogging - my username on the Homeschool Blogger is momishome2. I'm looking forward to getting established here!
Thanks, Bethany
