T+979

Jeremy lost his first tooth tonight!

His tooth had been a bit wobbly for a while, but became much looser thanks to being hit in the mouth with a soccer ball at lunchtime today. He was worried about his tooth falling out during his swimming lesson this afternoon, but was happy to go swimming when told that his teacher would be able to dive down and retrieve it if required!  But his tooth waited until the middle of dinner to come out, and Jeremy was pleased to be given lots of frozen jelly pencils and grapes to stop the bleeding.

It was with great joy that we were able to help Jeremy celebrate his 7th birthday with his family. We continue to thank God for his healing, and that we can enjoy watching our little boy grow up, tantrums and all :)
