Milestone: First Loose Tooth

Monday morning, Soren told me that his tooth was wiggling.  I thought this was some psychosomatic thing he was doing to get attention because who ever heard of a 5 year old with a loose tooth?  I thought I had another year to get cute kindergarten pictures before he had missing teeth!

Expecting a disaster, I was relieved when this was what I saw in the living room: The night before, I'd left a slice of left-over cake on the arm chair. We'd had company and Soren had been in bed. When I'd forgotten it at the end of the evening, it had been far from my son's greedy grasp. But this morning, when it was still left behind, it was within easy baby reach and too unusual for him not to explore. No wonder he was so quiet! He'd been experimenting with an unk...
