Tooth-less grin......musings of a mommy......

Toothless grin..........

I had been dreaming to see that on my baby's face.......for 9 months.......:roll:

Visualizing and imagining it whenever I saw the grinning baby posters and baby-food advertizements.....

Then.....
My bundle of joy.......beside me.......grin...????.....not yet......but for the smile when he was asleep.......

I frantically searched baby books...:confused2:...checked with seniors.....:spin
"After a month...."....all said.....

I waited eagerly.......the whole month......constantly talking , singing and asking him...." When would you grin....my dear dear kanna?"

Then the day came........I was massaging him and singing to him.....and....He grinned.....:-D

The toothless grin....which I was longing to see ....It was awe some......!!! Filled with innocence........,love.......,trust......,secure feeling.......

I relished it.......!!!:thumbsup

Days , months , and years rolled.......

My little one is an active kid now.....

I missed his toothless grin and cherished it whenever I saw pictures of him....

Now.....

I got another chance , to see him toothless......or rather teeth-less.......he lost his two upper incisors... ....

But......, this time.....his grin ..... different ........filled with little innocence......,a little insecurity......,pre-occupied with his own cares of life.....
enlightening me about the teeth of Whales and Dinosaurs.........

But, it is awe some too......to see my little son touching another mile-stone...:biggrin2:.!!!

Aww!
That was such a sweet post!
Kids are so charming with their two front teeth out and even more so when the huge ones grow!
You stirred hidden memories for me Bhargavi!
Enjoy your kid, every day, every moment!
Thanks for sharing such precious moments!

So sweet Bhargavi!! For us mothers every activity of our child is a milestone and a moment to cherish and I am loving every minute of it. I am glad that you are also doing so!!

Hi Bhargavi,

Awwww........... That smile really makes one go all soppy and gooey, doesn't it? For some unknown reason babies seem to have gone out of fashion around me. I really miss playing with the tiny ones, doing masti with the slightly older ones who are fit to be cuddled and squeezed. :-(

Enjoy all the smiles from junior. Why do they ever grow up?
