are both ears still there?

ok, one more post about the tooth thing, and then i promise i'll stop. (i think.)

so cody wakes up this morning, and shows me his hand. "look, there's a finger missing!" he points to the space between his index finger and his thumb.

i tell him that no, there was no finger there before, and if he counts them, he'll see that he still has ten fingers. he does, and is calmed, for the time being.

i realize that according to cody-logic, it totally makes sense that if his teeth could fall out, why not his fingers? i tell him 20 times throughout the day, that nothing else is going to fall off. just his teeth.

later i catch him touching both ears, making sure they're both still attached.
