No that's not gross at all! They are our kids and that's what parents do...

I freaked out a tiny bit one morning when Derby was 5 months old because I found blood on the sheets when I woke up and I thought.....what the h***??? It was only a tiny bit of blood and only in two or maybe three places. I was trying to figure out what part of him was bleeding and why and then I found the tooth stuck in his hair which he had somehow slept on. Another time, I found him playing with one on the hardwood floor trying to figure out if he should eat it or not. I kept both teeth, one of them was pretty weak and broke in half so I threw it out but I kept the other one. (I was surprised at how much gunk had built up on his 5 month old teeth...wow!) They were the only two I found....now he has one stubborn baby tooth left that needs to be pulled. Ugh! Derby didn't get a quarter but he got a new toy instead.
