Loose Teeth



Anna has lost a couple of teeth and today lost another. It is her front, top tooth (she lost the other one awhile ago). The process is quite laborious. It not only includes a lot of wiggleing, but a little blood, a few tears, and a lot of time in front of the mirror. I tried to get her to let me pull it out, but she would have none of that. I learned my lesson not to insist on doing it myself when Cole had his first loose tooth. By the time everything was said and done, I basically sat on top of Cole and pulled his tooth out. Don't ask me why... to this day Cole hides the fact the he even has loose teeth and won't tell me untill they are already pulled out. Anyway, after Anna chanted "I hate this tooth" a dozen times, and, "I can do it, I'm a woman" more than a dozen times, she pulled it out all by herself! Proclaiming that she has heard that the tooth fairy gives way more money for big top teeth, she promptly washed her tooth clean, placed it carefully into her "tooth pillow" and tucked it under her pillow. After all that work, I sure hope the tooth fairy remembers that she has a tooth waiting under Anna's pillow at 2060 25th St in Ohio.

I love that she said she could do it because she's a woman... way to go with teaching her that she can do anything! I'm not going to tell Hailey that yet another friend has lost a tooth and she has yet to find anything loose in her mouth.

I'm so glad you started a blog! Cory and I were talking to his parents last night, and they mentioned you had started one. It's so fun to see pictures, and read about what you guys are up to. I've really missed seeing you guys. It seems like it's been years. Your kids seem so grown up, and I'm so impressed that you're training for a marathon. Anyway, I just wanted to say hi, and if you want to check out our blog, it's nelsonfamilyfun.blogspot.com
If it's alright with you, I'd like to add you to our list of blogs that we keep up with. :)

Okay Buddy - it's been like 20 days since your last post. You know I check it at least twice a day - so give me something new to read! I know you were always going to write a novel - how about doing it chapter by chapter on your blog? We could all be the editors? :)
