Before I had kids I could never have imagined how just seeing their faces could take my breath away. I never could have imagined how I would spend hours just gazing at their soft perfect skin, counting freckles, memorizing every curve of an ear, every fuzzy lip hair, the very exquisite way their nose evolves into a cheek and a chin becomes a lip. I never knew I could boldly pick a crusty nose clean, treasure a little tiny tooth, or die a little inside just from seeing a tear stained cheek.
That being said, if he doesn't wiggle that damned disgusting dangling tooth (which makes me totally want to puke every time he smiles) out of his mouth in the next 24 hours then I am going to sneak up on him in the middle of the night with some pliers and finish the job myself.
awwwwwww. I had the dangly tooth when I was little. My mom pinched my nose so I had to open my mouth to breath and got my dad to yank it out with a pair of pliers. - I am NOT advocating this. It hurt, I cried and I didn't trust my mom for a while.
