Gateau boy

This photo was from a few weeks ago and his front tooth has now turned a lovely shade of medieval gray. The dentist says it won't fall out but that it's just dead -- tant pis pour mon petit mec.

It'll be a year or more before he gets his adult teeth so he just has to live with his new look.

What happened? Sophia also has a gray tooth from tripping over a bench and then having it fall on her. It went really dark, but has since lightened quite a bit. I know that it's still gray, but I think that most people would have to really look in order to notice.

He went down his slide backwards but we had it set up with a pool at the bottom, swoosh! bang! And I TOLD him three times not to do it.

Hopefully you're right and it will go back to a lighter gray. He just looks like he doesn't ever brush his teeth !!

Ha ha. If I remember correctly, Sophia's tooth took a couple of weeks to get really dark and then almost six months to lighten to where it is right now. Our dentist said the same thing -- nothing to do but wait until it falls out.
