One morning during the New Year's holiday, Jayden, who was about to turn 5, was sitting at the table nibbling on sweet corn.
Suddenly, his face changed, and he said somewhat timidly: "Mom, this corn is too hard!" I can't move! ”
I glanced briskly at the sloppy corn in his hand, and then I looked down and nibbled the corn in my own hand. I think he was probably making excuses for not being able to eat corn, so he replied, "Where is it hard?" You see Mom nibbling so easily. Baby take another bite for Mom to see, how good is my baby whale? ”
Jayden picked up the corn in his hand in embarrassment and bit it gently at the corn in his hand.
He shrugged sheepishly and grinned, "Mom, your baby whale can't eat corn anymore!" ”
I saw blood oozing from his front teeth and the junction of his gums, and quickly drew a napkin to help him wipe it off. He took the tissue and said he could handle it.
I was a little curious that this child's teeth were so fragile today, but I still looked at him while nibbling on the corn in his hand.
However, when I had finished breakfast and washed all the dishes, he sat motionless in his seat.
"Are you okay?" Do your teeth still hurt? I couldn't resist asking him.
He turned his head, looked at me with a smile and said, "It doesn't hurt." It's okay! ”
When I had done some housework piecemeal, I found himself sitting motionless at the dining table, his little head half blocked by the backrest of the chair.
I stepped forward, touched his little head, and asked, "Baby, what's wrong with you?" Don't go to the room to play with toys for a while? ”
He shook his head and squeezed out a smile reluctantly: "I don't want to play with toys now." ”
"So what can Mom do for you?" I saw something was wrong with him.
He subconsciously wiped his hand over his mouth.
"Do your teeth still hurt?" Or are your teeth uncomfortable? ”
He smiled even more reluctantly, tears in his eyes.
This made me feel very wrong, and I quickly pulled the chair next to him and sat down.
"Can you get your mother to see your teeth?"
He nodded and slowly opened his mouth.
I turned on the flashlight on my phone and checked his mouth.
"Everything is normal!"
"But, Mom, I think my teeth are going to die." When he said this, the tears in his eyes seemed to be about to break through.
"How can teeth die?" No, it won't! Rest assured! While comforting him, I gently pushed his front teeth with my hand, and it came loose!
My heart suddenly panicked, shouldn't the child start to lose his teeth at the age of 7? How did he get so early? Is there anything unusual about him? Was he really knocked out of his teeth by corn? Oh, my God! What am I going to do?
I quickly told him, "Don't be afraid! Mom looked it up online to see what was going on? I'll make an appointment with a doctor and we'll take a look. ”
As soon as he heard the word "doctor," tears began to break through.
"Mom, I don't want to go to the doctor!" I'm okay, I'm not going to die! It's just that my teeth will die! ”
I pulled out one hand and took him into my arms and gently patted him, and the other hand quickly typed on the keyboard of the phone " What's wrong with the 5-year-old kid nibbling corn on the front teeth loose?" ”
I carefully watched the answers of various online doctors. Please forgive me for not being knowledgeable enough to be a mom for the first time.
Jayden stared at my face seriously, trying to predict his next fate from the expression on my face.
After flipping through about ten pages, I took a deep breath and smiled at him and said, "Baby, Mommy has good news for you!" ”
He still looked at me nervously, his face full of doubts about the "good news."
"Baby, you've grown up! You're about to lose your first deciduous tooth! ”
"What are deciduous teeth?"
"It's the little baby who grows teeth!" Everyone grows deciduous teeth when they are a baby. When they grow up, the deciduous teeth will fall out and be replaced by adult teeth. ”
"Will the teeth die?"
I heard his fear, took him in my arms, pointed to my front teeth, and told him the story of my teeth loss as a child.
"Mom lost her teeth when she was a kid!" Mom was eating steamed noodles made by grandma that day, it was so delicious! So I stuffed a big mouthful into my mouth and chewed happily. As a result, as soon as the force was exerted, the teeth fell into the noodles. You have to pick up the noodles in the bowl and look around for teeth! ”
Jayden giggled.
"Like the story of The Little Gecko Borrowing its Tail, you grow new teeth! Stronger than today's teeth! You look at Mom's adult teeth. I let him gently clasp my front teeth with his hand.
He touched his own dangling front teeth again, thoughtfully.
I pretended to be mysteriously close to his ear and whispered, "Do you know the Tooth Fairy?" ”
His eyes widened and he shook his head nervously.
I took him to the TV and showed him a few stories about the tooth fairy replacing the baby's baby teeth.
Only then did he let go and asked expectantly, "Mom, when my deciduous teeth fall out, will the tooth fairy really come?" ”
"Of course!"
"I was so happy! Mom, I'm going to be a big boy right away! ”
This is my "Certificate of Honor for Tooth Loss" designed for JAYDEN.
"By the way, the tooth fairy will also send you an official certificate of tooth loss!" With this certificate, you are a real big boy! Oh, my God! I can't believe it, my baby is growing up right away! Mom felt so proud! I said and gave him a big hug.
That afternoon he solemnly announced to everyone he met that his baby teeth had loosened and that he would soon be a big boy.
