Yup, it’s tooth #2 (his lower right - tooth #1 was his lower left and is already half-replaced). It’s been loose for a while, so we were expecting something. It got a little help at the playground, after his soccer game. He was on a wobbly station (on springs) that got a little too much assistance in the wobble and his mouth hit the car he was in. A bit of blood, and one tooth out and on his tongue! (Luckily, he didn’t swallow it.)
He cleaned up fine and got over the shock of it, then went back to playing. And tonight, we wait to see if the tooth fairy shows up.
As for the rest of his day, he had swimming lessons tonight. He’s really made a lot of progress this year and is really starting to overcome some of his reluctance to try things. We’ve even got him pushing off from the steps and “swimming” to an instructor. Not much horizontal movement yet, but he’s pretty much over his fear of getting his head under the water and it even willing to let go. He kicks okay, if slowly, and needs to work on the arm motion, but at least he’s willing to try. And he looks forward to going each week now. Setting up perfectly, leading into swimming season starting in 2 weeks.
I hope to have some video of him swimming eventually (maybe before the end of the month).
