All I want for Christmas

I’m worried that my 7 year old has scurvy.

What else is a mother to think when a child loses 3 teeth in less than 24 hours?  Two on top and one on bottom.  He had previously lost his other top front tooth, so he was already looking pretty gummy.  The picture at the top of this post was taken right after he lost the first one.

 
This is what he looked like 10 minutes later, after he lost the one on bottom.

The next day he lost a third tooth, but the pictures of that didn’t turn out too well.

This next picture was taken exactly one week later. Two of the three lost teeth are already starting to grow back in!

 
Whew.  I guess he doesn’t have scurvy after all.

I had to preserve this memory for posterity’s sake, though.  We’ll want to remember this on his 16th birthday, right?  Or when he gets married.  So we recorded a little Vlog of the adorable toothless boy singing an old Christmas favorite on You Tube.
