Baby Teeth

This month both Ashley and Paige lost a baby tooth. Two teeth in one month, what did I do to deserve such punishment?

Did you know that a person has 20 baby teeth? That means between our two girls they will lose 40 teeth. Did you know that a loose tooth in our house is not a happy occasion? Would you like to know some of the things that occur in our house when there is a loose tooth? I am listing them from mildly annoying to drive you to the edge of insanity-make your blood boil-puLL YOUR HAIR OUT ANNOYING...

-child will not wiggle loose tooth
-child will not wiggle really loose tooth
-child will not wiggle really, really loose tooth
-child will not pull loose tooth
-child will cry and have meltdown over fear of pulling tooth
-child will not let mom pull tooth
-child will not let mom touch loose tooth
-child will not even let mom look at loose tooth
-child will not pull tooth that is dangling by a thread
-child will not pull tooth that is dangling, starting to dissolve and rot away
-child will let deadline for pulling own tooth pass
-child will be taken to the dentist to have tooth pulled (because mom follows through on consequences)
-child would rather go to bed at 5pm than pull loose tooth
-child will stop eating because loose, dangling tooth is so bothersome
-after a huge crying fit and being threatened with the loss of every privilege known to man, child finally allows mom to pull tooth
-mom barely touches tooth and it comes right out, to which childs brightly says, "that didn't hurt at all"
-exasperated mom bangs head against wall

According to my count, we have about 16 more teeth to go....I would rather potty-train a half dozen toddlers.
