Teeth

It is so much fun to watch my little boys grow up!  Aiden lost 2 teeth, and best of all...he can TELL you how it happened!  

During therapy, Aiden's tooth was so loose he was distracted by it.  We read him the "Barenstein Bear's go to the Dentist," which prompted him to try biting into an apple (just like sister bear) to loosen and hopefully pull out the tooth.  Aiden still doesn't eat fruits or veggies, but he will bite them and spit them out when prompted.  This was the most he has ever "tried" a piece of produce!  He bit into the apple so many times that it loosened it enough to pop out after chewing on a fruit snack :)  The next one came out days later with a gentle tug on my part.  He was so excited and fascinated with the experience.  As a mother, I just enjoyed the moment knowing my little boy was growing up and finally finding his voice!  I couldn't believe it when he told the story to another therapist!
