If you know me, you know how much I hate wiggly teeth! They make me sick to my stomach. They give me the chills - like fingernails on a chalkboard! They make me want to scream! I detest them! Seriously, why do children need to leave them hanging in their mouthes by one single root. YUCK!
The actual thought that my own personal children would get "wiggly" teeth never really crossed my mind. I mean, really why would it! I guess my mind thought we would just skip through that part of life and wake up one morning with all our baby teeth gone and our adult teeth in their places. Well, it doesn't work like that at all... DARN! One December morning while I was brushing Cade's teeth before school I noticed that his adult tooth was coming in behind his baby tooth. How I missed this the night before is behind me? BUT that morning I had a small freak out until I came the realization that it was actually pretty normal for this happen. After my small freak out, something happened to my hand. I believe it got a mind of its own for a few minutes. Because it reached inside Cade's mouth and wiggled the baby tooth in front and GUESS WHAT... That tooth was "wiggly"! Oh my goodness - I had NO CLUE what I was going to do! What was I supposed to do about this tooth? Then I got the perfect answer - I would have my friend at work, Kathy, pull Cade's tooth when it was ready. We wiggled Cade's tooth and we wiggled and finally it was loose enough to come out! I let Kathy try to pull it and Cade refused to let her. I didn't know what I was going to do now. I only had two options - Larry and Marissa. Those two options quickly faded when he refused to let them do it. But guess who could pull it... That's right ME! Good Ole' Mommy! I didn't know how I was going to do it... I was even sure I could!
But obviously I did! Sorry for the quality these were taken with my cell phone! So we have our first little baby tooth GONE!
