Really sad to see ds1 growing up so fast  

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
So ds1 smashed his two front teeth into ds2's forehead today, and there was bleeding and movement from the tooth. We went to the dentist for x-rays, and while all is fine, the dentist said that he will definitely lose that tooth in a month or so, and it will turn gray before then. I mean, it's not that big of a deal as it's a tooth he would have lost within the next year anyway, but it has thrown me into a major depression!

I can't believe how sad I am. I feel like crying just writing this. I feel like the last bit of babyhood was stolen! I know I'm being silly about the tooth, but I have just been really sad lately about seeing how big ds1 is getting, and knowing how much I am going to miss him at ages 3, 4, and 5. He's so stinkin cute I just can't stand it. I guess I didn't realize how much I associated losing the first baby tooth with really growing up, and to have it sped up just flipped me out.

On the upside, he wants to be a pirate for Halloween, so a gray or missing tooth should fit right in.

I am so sorry that you are feeling so badly. I totally understand and felt just like you do when DD said 'I love you' for the first time spontaneously. I just couldn't believe that she was old enough to share emotion like that and it really reminded me how fast life goes.

I feel joy though that I am enjoying every stage as much as I can.....and you should try to too. They are going to keep growing and I don't think its going to get any easier! I wish it would.....but they are always going to amaze us at their growth and how quickly they become a person totally separated from you.

Sigh.

with smiles and hope you feel better soon
