This is one of my favorite pictures. It's mySpencer in 2003, bringing me a tooth that
he had just lost. It's special, first of all, because
it's so sweet. And also since Spencer
has autism, it really was uncommon for him
to communicate something like this.
Come to think of it, Spencer was quite fascinated
with teeth during his grade school years!
Here he is checking out the teeth of his brother, Taylor. Around that same time,
I was spring cleaning and found .....

Dare I ask where the secret collection came from? Oh, my!
ReplyDeleteHow cute! I hope the tooth fairy made a visit. One of our granddaughters just lost her first tooth last week. They had just moved into their new house, but the tooth fairy still found her : )
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect "sepia moment"! Oh Spencer, you are a funny, special guy.
ReplyDeleteha. i love that he has a secret tooth collection!
ReplyDeleteBrian ~ it was kind of funny! And a little creepy, too, when I found it!
ReplyDeleteMy son's teeth kept falling out in the supermarket~like clockwork. We'd have to ask for a tissue. They got to know us after awhile. Very strange...

ReplyDeleteHugs,

SO WHERE DID ALL THOSE TEETH COME FROM? MAYBE HE'LL BE A DENTIST! VERY COOL PICTURE... COME SAY HI :D
ReplyDeleteYou've got me wondering what does happen to all those teeth we lose? Where does the toothfairy stash them all?
ReplyDeleteah that collection of teeth!
ReplyDeletehow funny and sweet!
His hand is so cute in this picture! Smiles and hugs! The Bach
ReplyDeleteThe things children do! An excellent post. Look after those teeth Spencer!
ReplyDeleteAh, this was so sweet, made me smile.;)
ReplyDeleteDid you know that even our pets have milk teeth and loose them - I used to find very few small ones left behind by Batcat when he was a kitten.;)
Have a lovely Saturday,

I love how Taylor is a willing patient for Spencer's dental exam!
ReplyDeleteProtege ~ I had 2 cats and never noticed the baby teeth! How strange!
ReplyDeleteBlondie ~ oh what a funny way to be known at the grocery! :)
ReplyDeleteThat is just amazing, and sweet. What an interesting, not to mention unique, story!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun sepia moment - fond found memories of lost teeth!
ReplyDeleteOMG! I am sitting at my computer laughing out loud (feels good.) This is just priceless..... Hi Boys!
ReplyDeleteLove the secret tooth collection. Rachel saved all of her baby teeth...and she doesn't have autism...what is that about?
ReplyDeleteStevie ~ Rachel is just sentimental! :)
ReplyDeleteKids are so wonderful. When my youngest son went to college, I decided to clean out from under his bed. He would grab crepe paper that was colorful, wad it into his pocket and then stow it under his bed with other wonderful things. Things he found fascinating. Great blog.
ReplyDeleteTwo nice photos of your boys, Betsy. The first is a good memory and the second shows what a good and patient brother Taylor is.
ReplyDeleteCool photo - I love the secret stash of teeth!
ReplyDeleteOh my....a secret tooth collection!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is such a good picture of his little hand!
Oh my, that tooth collection is too funny. Is Spencer the one who lined up the lollipops on the window too? My sister lined up everything when she was litte. It had to be perfecttly straight. Now she's a civil engineer.
ReplyDeleteDawn ~ yes, that was Spencer who lined up the suckers!
ReplyDeleteMemorable picture!
ReplyDeleteOopsy, Betsy! Sorry, somehow I forgot to swing by here last night. I made it to Willow's, but I missed yours.
ReplyDeleteWhat a stash! I bet you had a laugh over that. My dad used to tie our teeth to a door handle with dental floss and *pop*! Thar she'd blow!

Kayren ~ it was right there like it is in the picture...on the floor lined up against the baseboard in the back of the closet. Too funny!
