What do you get...



when you cross a snowy hill with a "cool jump" and a couple of boys having some outside fun while their mom is busy? TWO LESS TEETH!!!!

Yes, the boys went outside to play in the snow...five minutes later they come in and Grant is bleeding. His second front tooth which had yet to become loose was now hanging half on and half off of his gums. So I pulled it out and quickly realized the one next to it (which was also nowhere near ready to be loose) was now so loose you could see the top of it coming out of the gums as he wiggled it. I left that one alone because of the tears and blood. I decided it would not be a good idea for him to go to his soccer game that evening. Something about flying balls made me uneasy! :-) Well this made him more upset of course but what could we do....a couple of hours later he comes running down the stairs. "I almost have the second one out!" Sure enough he did and we went to the bathroom where I finished the job.
"You said I could not play soccer with a loose tooth. So I can go to soccer now!"

NOTHING beats the determination of a 6 year old on a mission.
