holy molars

Gordy's 7yr molars are in!  The left molar made it's first noticeable appearance in the middle of March.  Then an "eruption cyst" occurred where the right molar would be.  Apparently this happens with the protective sac around the molar leaks fluid into the gums.  The cyst grew pretty large and turned blue/purple and then disappeared after a few weeks.

During all of this molar action, Gordy never complained of any pain.  But he was pretty unhappy recently about the little flap of gums that hadn't yet receded at the back of his left molar.  He didn't like the feel of it and wanted me to "snip it off".  I refused and it's since gone away.
