When we were in Burley for the Spudman in July, we had the opportunity to hang out with our good friends, the Harris family. Three Harris siblings live on a bunch of land surrounding "Harris Pond," and our kids were swimming with their kids while the big folks sat around and gabbed... it was a perfect afternoon! Canon was enjoying himself while jumping off a diving board, with Jared Harris (age 13) catching him and helping him out of the water. Canon slipped on a board and knocked his tooth. His gum was bleeding and the tooth was a bit wiggly... GREAT!
It wasn't a big enough deal to worry about it while still in Burley, but we took him to the dentist when we got back to Springville. They did some x-rays and saw that the root was mostly dissolved anyway, so the dentist opted to just pull it out. Canon was so brave as he sat there mesmerized by playing Lego Star Wars on the PS2. He made a short little whiny sound right after he pulled it out, but then resumed his master video game concentration skills and got over it quick. So here's a close up of the new landscape of his mouth:
And one of his new smile, the one he'll be sporting for another 2+ years if he's anything like his brother!
I think it's funny that, so far, out of all 5 of the teeth lost in the Croshaw household, a doctor or dentist has pulled out 3 of them. I guess that's what you get in a house full of boys! Canon now speaks with the smallest of lisps (of course, it's something I would notice and care about), but it's pretty sweet! Just for history sake, here's the pics from when he lost his first front tooth in January 2007 at the age of 3 1/2 years.
He's my little "rough and tough" little rascal and now he has the smile to prove it!

Gotta love those boys. Luckily, we haven't had any pulled teeth- yet, but one stitches, two broken arms, and three head staples (my personal favorite).
