Poor Toothless Zach (actually, he's kinda rich thanks to the tooth fairy!)


Zach lost his 5th tooth while we were on vacation. And wouldn't you know it - he swallowed it! This is his 4th tooth he's swallowed. They tend to fall out while he's eating, therefore it gets swallowed. He lost one front tooth the beginning of May and the adult tooth has yet to poke through at all. So now he lost the other front one.
And to make matters worse, per the orthodontist's advice, Zach had 2 more teeth pulled a few days after we got home from our vacation. His mouth is too small for all his teeth and so he had some baby teeth pulled, then he'll get a spacer to make his upper jaw wider, then most likely braces later on. So the poor kid is having a tough time eating certain foods with all the gaps in his mouth!
