The Smiler

I took a peek under his top lip last night and his gums seemed to be shaped just like two front teeth. What’s that mean? When and how are they supposed to pop out? When I fed him dinner we experimented with using his bottom teeth to “bite” off bits from a whole banana. He thought it was fun and nutritious and all I could add was that he’ll really love it with a set of top teeth.
Remember the song “All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth.” We could change that to “for my birthday is my two front teeth.”
