Ummmmmm...You pulled the wrong one!

**Warning! This entry is GROSS!, and is followed by a gross picture so don't scroll down if you don't like blood and gore**

Emma has had a wiggly tooth for some time now. About 3 months! It would wiggle and wiggle but wasn't comming out. Well the new one started to break through and I finally decided that it was time for the baby tooth to come out. So I started pulling on it and IT CRACKED! I only ended up getting half of the tooth. Emma was freaked out at this point so she said she would work on getting the rest of it out. We decided that a prayer was needed for some extra help. As soon as we finished the prayer Emma reached in her mouth and just pulled out a tooth no problem. Miraculous??? Ummmmm....Emma, you pulled the wrong tooth! She had pulled out a tooth that was in one piece! WHAT?!? Sooo we went fishing again for the half-tooth that was still in there. OH! this was SOOOO GROOOOSS! After a lot of pulling and tearing the other half came out. I guess with all of the room now in her mouth because of 2 missing teeth there was a third tooth that was just hanging there. Pull, Tug, Rip and #3 was out. Sometimes I do not like to be the mom. There wasn't a chapter on this in "Baby Wise" or "What to Expect When You're Expecting a Preteen". But I don't think anything could have prepared me for being covered in blood ripping multiple teeth out of my child's mouth. --Sorry for the picture , but Emma really wanted one included--

That must have been a expensive night for the Tooth Fairy! What a trooper she was! Whitney & Gavin are both the BIGGEST babies when it comes to losing teeth.

Holy cow! Hope all 3 were baby teeth! Just tell Emma that this was a better option than getting them pulled by the doc.

Wow! Way to go!!! That's how I like it....just get it all over with at once! Did she get a bonus for saving you time down the road!? Did you have to dig through change drawers and run over to a neighbors to have enough cash to pay up? LOL!!!
