It looks like the loose tooth saga is over, for now at least. Sam's second tooth has been dangling by a thread for a couple weeks now. Last night Jamie spent an hour with Sam as he fiddled with his tooth. Finally he just grabbed the thing and yanked. Now he's free of his tiny front teeth and the new ones are coming in, looking much bigger.

He also finished up with Wizard camp yesterday, playing a Quidditch match and getting his diploma. He very much liked the entire experience.

In this picture, you can see the lightning bolt tattoo on his forehead from the class, along with ice cream on his chin from our morning's trip to Lonepine Farms.

Sam's tooth finally came out

July 28, 2005 by Adam in Sam

Sam's tooth finally came out. Unfortunately it wasn't the loosest one. He was playing in the hose at camp today when he ran into the back of another kid. One of his front teeth popped out and was lost in the grass. Evidently it was fairly bloody, though it didn't hurt at all.

Now he's talking very strangely, which makes it easy to make fun of him. He doesn't want to touch his empty spot with his tongue or lips, so he's making a funny face all the time. Hopefully he'll get used to it in a day or two. I'd also bet that other tooth was out by the weekend.

Sam's first tooth is about to pop out

Sam's first tooth is about to pop out. He's been wiggling it back and forth endlessly for the last couple days. Yesterday at Wizard's Camp he spent his swimming time with a friend who was giving pointers as to how to get it out.

Speaking of Wizard's Camp, Sam loves it. It's got a Harry Potter theme and the main teacher is a magician and actor in his own right. He's been doing tricks and getting everyone playing various Wizard themed games. Yesterday he got his broom and they were running it through an obstacle course. On Friday is a Quidditch match.

Yet another Sam tooth update

Yet another Sam tooth update. The last posting's picture was taken a week or so ago (despite the posting date). This one was really taken yesterday, so you can start seeing the difference. If you look closely at the second front tooth, you can see a new one starting to poke out there too. As a side note, someone let me know that the previous picture of Sam's tooth grossed them out. Sam was duly impressed.

Sam starts wizard camp today. It's got Harry Potter themes and hopefully will be lots of fun for him. It'll be strange for Jamie to just have the one kid for most of the week. A preview for Fall when Sam goes to first grade, I suppose.

I wanted to do a quick post of Sam's teeth, slowly popping in. It's been strangely fun to watch his two front teeth gradually sticking forward while the new ones pop in. I suspect it'll still be a few more weeks until anything comes out as they're not particularly loose.

Sam also got a postcard via "owl post" yesterday (that's what the stamp said anyway). He's going to Wizardry camp next week and they gave him a list of things to prepare for. One of them was to pick a wizard name, though I'm not sure we were particularly helpful. "Samuel Picklebottom" didn't get quite the reaction I'd have hoped for.

Sam's new teeth are slowly coming in

Sam's new teeth are slowly coming in. Last night we were giving him a bath and I got to see one of his new teeth poking in behind his old ones. It looked quite odd.

This has been a summer of camps for Sam. He had his swimming lessons and his cartoon camp. He really liked both of them and probably kept him from being completely bored. Pretty soon he'll have Wizard's camp and then likely another round of swimming lessons. T-ball is over as well, so we're in a lull between the various activities.

He's also turning into an actual reader. Most of the early reader books are overly cute or silly, but I managed to find some ones that were actually funny. I left them by his bed after I got them at the library. The next day he reported that he read them both, all by himself.
