Lost Teeth in Jaceland

Jace lost his first 2 teeth today. He did it in a way that only he could do. While we were eating supper tonight, scramble eggs and toast, Jace told us that he had something hard in his food. He took it out of his mouth to look at it and Katherine said, "Jace, that is your tooth. You lost your first tooth. Let me see your mouth."

At this point, Katherine noticed that both of his bottom front teeth were missing. When she told Jace this, he said, "I maybe lost the other tooth this morning." Turns out, he was eating a piece of candy on the way to school this morning and felt something hard in his mouth. I told him that he probably swallowed his other tooth. He told us that he took it out of his mouth to see what it was. I thought that maybe then we would find it in the van, maybe in his seat, on the floor, or in one of his cupholders.

He quickly squashed my hope, however.

He said, "I took it out of my mouth to look at it to see what it was, and then I put it back in my mouth."

So now I have no doubt that Jace's first lost tooth is indeed lost....forever.

And that is how you lose teeth in Jaceland.
