teeth

Today one of the children lost a tooth. After one of the classes had just let out, he came in through the door, looked up at me and then smiled, showing me a bloody tissue and a hole where his tooth was. he is so cute.

I kind of miss losing my teeth. I mean after it happens to you... what like twenty times? it just doesn't happen anymore. I remember also having cavities at one point, but thinking that it was okay because those teeth were baby teeth yet to be lost, and soon will be replaced with fresh healthy ones. And since then I have gotten more cavities and they will never go away :(
I just think it's interesting, because most parts of you that are on the outside are constantly being shed or lost and then regenerated. That is something I really love about our bodies and find very genius, that our fingernails, toenails, hair, skin, eyelashes are always being shed and replaced. but our teeth only go through the cycle one time, and then some people lose them again forever. I guess that is why it is very important to take good care of your teeth.

The great thing about your body is that even if you don't take good care of it, it will still do everything it can to try to keep you healthy. And it will always give you another chance to improve your eyes, blood, skin, stomach, lungs, endurance. bones, muscles...
our bodies take very good care of us. So we should try to return the love.
