Scurvy

Wes lost another tooth today. One of those that is supposed to come out when he's about 11 or 12. He turned 9 a couple of weeks ago. When I say "another" tooth, you would get the implication that he has lost others. Well of course he has.

But the deal is, he's lost several of those that are supposed to hang around for another few years recently. Several --- as in 5. In the last 3 weeks.

If he had big holes in his gums, I would certainly be concerned. But he doesn't. He has teeth coming in already in every one of the holes. Andi swears he has scurvy. The tooth fairy is beginning to think so too.
