Tongue tied

Keagan is tongue tied. He has a little piece of skin that won't let him stick his tongue out all of the way. These are the best pictures I could get of him, he wasn't really cooperating. But as you can somewhat see he can't stick his tongue out all of the way. He was born this way and it has never caused any problems, until lately. We went to the dentist a few weeks ago and it is starting to pull his gums away from his teeth so he needs the little piece of skin snipped and it will be "normal". He goes in next month to have this procedure done, it will only take a few minutes, they numb it and then clip.

I felt bad a week or so ago he had a sore throat and I was going to give him some of the throat spray - I told him to stick out his tongue and say ahhhh while I sprayed it. He said mom, I can't, remember I'm tongue tied. I don't know why that struck me as funny, but it gave me the giggles.

I can't wait until next month to get him an icecream cone to lick! :)
