Pulling Teeth

Ok, after reading this post, some of you may decide that I am a terrible mother. But this ranks as one of the funniest stories in our little family! Emma has two of her adult teeth coming in behind her little teeth. Since they are off, the big teeth can't dissolve the roots of the baby teeth. Consequently, her teeth won't loosen. Her dentist said give it some time and work on the teeth, and maybe they will come loose. So one Sunday evening, I (jokingly) suggested that we tie a string to her tooth and give the string to Logan since we don't have a dog to tie it to. She actually agreed and we were all laughing as Logan tugged on the string. Eventually she took the string and decided to try it on her own. It wasn't working so whe wanted to try something else. Andy (jokingly) suggested to tie the string to a door. She was all for it! We tried to tell her we were kidding and talk her out of it, but we did not succeed!

Andy did tie the string to the door and slammed it shut. Who knew the dental floss would just slip off her tooth? Not without a little pain though. And the silly tooth isn't any looser! Sorry Em!
