About a month ago B got pretty sick. He was on the couch for days looking pretty much like this. As he started feeling a bit better he had a brainstorm and our conversation went something like this...
B: Mom, I want glasses.
Me: But you don't need glasses buddy.
B: I don't want the kind to help me see, I just want the ones that look cool.
Me: Yeah, we can get some of those.
And this is what we got. I think he wears them well. Some days he wears them and some days he doesn't. It just kind-of depends on his mood. He's gotten several compliments on them. I love that he is developing his own sense of style. It seems that when they start going to school they definitely begin having ideas of their own. You look cool buddy!
This picture is also the "before" shot for what comes next. Notice the top teeth in this cute little smile. Well...
The top two were just hanging by a thread. So one night we asked him if we could pull one of them and he decided he would try it himself. Well after about a half an hour working on this tooth he gave up. But as he was walking away from the mirror he bumped in to my leg and the tooth fell right out. As you can imagine this was all very exciting.

Two mornings later the other tooth was hanging there and after some effort with the dental floss, B said "Mom, can I bump in to your leg?" and so basically we had a repeat from a couple nights before, only this time it was a little more intentional. I love this toothless little grin!
