Exciting Tooth News!!
Well, at least it was really exciting news in our house last night. It all started with a goodnight story....
(notice the title, Moose's Loose Tooth)
Then before I knew it, Sam was talking about his loose tooth and Tommy was telling Sam how great I am at pulling teeth. He told him that it would only take a second and that it wouldn't even hurt. It's kind of funny how Mark is the dentist, but I'm the one that pulls the teeth in our house. Actually, I don't pull teeth, I use the old dental floss trick that my parents used on me. It really works. So, my little assistant/Sam's coach, Tommy, ran and got some dental floss and we began... We started with a very loose tooth....
Then I wrapped the dental floss around the loose tooth (I can't believe the trust he had in me! He never showed any concern or fear!) Of course, Tommy was doing a great job coaching Sam along!
O-kay, it was now in position, Sam was smiling and it was count-down time!

Ughhh!!! Ouch!!
O-kay, a little scary, a little gross (sorry about the picture) but still no tears!
In fact, Sam was and is very proud of his missing tooth.
He even asked me to get the other one out today. But, it's not quite loose enough. I told him to wait a few days. I think the whole experience is probably more traumatic for me than for him. I need a few days to recover before going through this again!

haa haa! I'm with you on being more tramatized pulling it than getting it pulled! Way to go Sam...I didn't lose a tooth until I was seven!!! p.s....I love having your kids over!
Congrats Sam! That is super exciting! Your mom is way braver than me...I don't touch the stuff!
Lookin' good, Sam! Nice job, Maria! I'm not ready for that tooth pulling business.
Hi Maria! Those are the funniest pictures of Sam! You caught all the emotions, from terror to triumph, that go along with pulling a tooth. JaNae
hahah... what darling pics! I am the tooth puller in my house too, but I hate to admit that I really like it! I'm not even nice enough to use the dental floss trick, I just use the "just let me touch it" then yank it! Way to be brave Sam!!
Oh, not me!!! I can't pull a tooth...hate, hate it! Darling pictures....what a fun time. Rachel is getting so old. What a darling family!
