No Front Teeth

Evan is always trying to hide the empty space in his mouth if anyone draws attention to it.





Not because he's shy, but because he can, and you can't make him show you.

So he won't.






But, if you happen to just be hanging out together.....

talking about his favorite things...






he forgets how fascinating that big space is and just shows it off freely...








and I make sure to pay attention to his words


and not stare at his mouth


or imagine what his grown-up teeth will look like...






and he just chatters on and smiles freely without realizing.....



This 'toothless' phase doesn't last long, so I am savoring it.






because I am going to miss that cute smile!
