One Tooooooth!!!!!

This is way too fabulous!!!! I'm going ga-ga over this and can't seem to suppress my happiness! I've been telling everybody who cares to lend me a ear...and even those who listen to me just because I'm talking! But, well....who cares?! This thing is among the biggest things of my life?!!!!

Okkkkkk.....I'm sorry.....I guess I should have told you what I was talking about in the first place, instead of breaking into it soooooo late.....but, I guess when you read what I'm so overjoyed about, then you'll forgive me.....

So.....its like this......I'm trying to instil good habits into my 10 month-old (which my mom encourages totally...tho she's like 'he's hardly going to understand what you're doing...go ahead nevertheless...'!!??!) So....every morning, when he wakes up, I clean him up and change his diaper, and then takw him to the wash basin......(he loves to be there, he can see himself in the mirror and the little yellow bulb burning over it, and, the most important thing, he can reach out to the toothpaste/brushes/razors/shaving brush!! -- excuse me for breaking off, on and off...but well, I guess you'll understand!).....So....he looks at the mirror and at me through it, while I wash his face and then put my index finger into his little mouth and rub his hardening gums.....I think, that if i keep doing this, he's gonna start learning that it should be done every morning....and then it wouldn't be difficult to teach him to brush when he grows up.......(there I go again!!!) So....yesterday, 2nd April, 2009 (Let me mark it bold...its a big day in Dhruv's life and mine as well!!!!), as I put in my finger, I felt something sharp right in the centre of the lower gums....so I put my finger there again and lo! There was a little bit of tooth trying to make its way out! YES!!!!!!!! My son's FIRST TOOTH!!!!! Its not really visible to the eye yet....but I can feel it....and can't wait to see it!!!!!

I guess such a major breakthrough warrants some excitement on my behalf, and I hope you guys can now understand what has been making me jump around with joy! Nevertheless....I guess I need to get over the euphoria and get down to business.....I'm not supposed to be wasting precious resource time, writing personal blogs right!!!

PS: Tooth-fairy....bless my son with an amazing set of teeth -- most women, including me, look at the teeth of a man and how they smile, at the first meet and decide whether they are worthy for further attention or not....if you know what I mean!?!
