What Will Keep Me in Hair Color

My husband and I have two boys. The older one, is my cautious kid. The younger one, pictured below, is not. Case is point: his two front teeth are now loose since he decided to run full steam while looking backwards (they were playing hide-n-seek). When he decided to turn around he found the pole which was serving as base, with his two front teeth. Lots of blood. He had to have been running with his mouth wide open because the only other injury sustained was a split lip; face, nose, eyes were all good. His dentist said that they are only being held in by the surrounding soft tissue, and if he sneezes hard enough he might sneeze them out (here’s hoping!). The good news is that they are his baby teeth and his permanent teeth are just fine-he may just be toothless for a year or so. Just prior to his crash he looked up at me sweetly, squinting his little eyes and says, “Mommy, this is the best summer ever!” or, as he may be saying toothless in the next few weeks, “Mommy, thith ith the beth thummer ever!” Oh yeah, I am having my hair highlighted tomorrow.

Ben preparing for battle, teeth still intact.
