Baby teeth

[ckhagen]

For the love of all things Holy, please tell me it wasn't a foreskin. :shock:

Well... you guessed it. I didn't say anything.

Saving a placenta isn't all that rare in the circles I run in. Not unusual to dry it, and capsule it for it's hormonal properties in dealing with post-partum depression. But, foreskin creeps me out.

eta: placentas can also be planted under trees

OK- enough about personal body parts saved and treasured.

Back to reproduction. Congrats JB! The surprise ones are lots of funn!!

Speaking of reproduction, here is what happens when I do the laundry at my house- SoWal stickers make babies in my washing machine.

Ok, so maybe this is the strangest thread ever!

JB, congrats to you & your family! It's nice for kids to have siblings, though lately I'm thinking that an only child might not have been so terrible - LOL

Or if you're Tom Cruise, simply eat it with some faver beans and a nice Chianti.

One and done was our plan, too. Oh well. Amazing how seven minutes of passion turns into 18 years of commitment.

I can really relate. I wonder if I would have been so lackadaisical about preventing a third child if I had calculated that I will be 53 when Katiefunn goes to college?

Congrats JB. You will not regret it.

This thread is hysterical. And very timely, too -- our oldest, who is almost 7, lost his second tooth yesterday during his Valentine's Day party. You should have seen all the kids oooh and ahhh over it.

Last night I went looking for his first tooth and couldn't find it. Then I thought of Mermaid and JB's posts and suddenly wasn't so disappointed.

My theory on the tooth fairy is there ought to be some universal law setting the rates per tooth. Sort of like a minimum wage. Little gifts are nice and all, but what happens when your first graders starts talking with the other first graders about what they get for their teeth? Suddenly the tooth fairy seems less egalitarian.

My son is totally the kind of kid who wouldn't be able to stop asking me why Jackson got $5 and he only got $1. Then I remember myself at that age, and how I caught my mother taking my tooth out from under my pillow, and suddenly realized the truth about not just the tooth fairy, but Santa and the Easter bunny. I just want to keep him innocent a little longer. So everyone: It's $1 a tooth, okay!?!

All the congrats are really appreciated. Y'all make me feel better.

I loves me some SoWal ladies!

$1 is what mine got. ;-)

JB-
Our #3 was a little surprise, and for that I am eternally greatful! Without her, I never would have seen this in my son. You've never seen anyone love another like he loves her
