June 21st Enzo lost his first tooth. . His buddy Melwin had lost his first tooth about a month ago. Enzo was disappointed that he didn't have any loose teeth nor had he lost a tooth. So that evening after we had been with Melwin when he lost his tooth I began to inspect his mouth for loose teeth. And sure enough he had two loose teeth. But they were semi-loose.
The weeks passed with frequent check-ins on the teeth. And they eventually became wiggly. Then one day we were at Västra Hamnen, climbing the rocks, just him and I and I offered him an apple to snack on. And sure enough, first bite and tooth was off. Blood was coming and the tears began to flow. Enzo was scared, not because it hurted but because he saw blood and for him that means something isn't quite right and probably should be hurting...aka he doesn't like the sight of blood which he somehow inherited from his father. How can something like that be passed through genes?! Anyway, I was elated! Thrilled, really! Was proud of my baby! He was slowly quickly turning into a big boy. I couldn't stop smiling ...ear to ear, picture it. After about 2-3 minutes, Enzo realized that this blood wasn't a bad thing and that it was actually an exciting thing, a milestone. He became super excited. Immediately called his Pappa to share the news.
Tooth number two fell out a week later but this one needed a little help as it was barely hanging on and completely irritating him. So I took a napkin and began to grab it and it just fell out. It just needed a little nudge or maybe a bite of an apple to help it fall out...
The crazy thing is that his big boy teeth had already began to sprout up so the void is already filled with new "grown-up" teeth.
