lost

I remember a time, barely five years ago, when the idea of his smooth gums interrupted by pearly whites was an impossibility.  Even in my wildest imaginations I could not envision a better smile than his spectacular toothless one.
But then two little teeth, tiny cubes of sugar, poked through.

TEB, October 2009

Over the weekend, Tucker lost his first tooth.
It’s image altering, a single tooth gone, the same way it was when that very tooth broke through his gummy infant grin.
But man is he still cute.

The Tooth Fairy left two chocolate coins.  

Because anybody who knows Tucker knows that he'd want to share with his little brother.  

And he did.
