TOOTH PULLING

Josh has one stubborn baby tooth that has refused to come. He has been wiggling it for MONTHS. I have pushed and pulled on it. Tim has tried to remove it with dental floss. Nothing was working. So, Amanda decided to try pulling it. She wiggled and pulled.

She assured Josh that she has done this before, but that didn’t relieve his anxiety in the least. Tim decided to get in on the action and hold Josh still (LOL). DISCLAIMER: Josh was LAUGHING in this picture *not* crying and Tim was making that funny face for the camera.

We’re sure glad THAT’S over! His adult tooth might actually come down now the baby tooth is out of the way.

Oh, I was hoping the happy ending would be that Amanda DID get the tooth out! Great pic of Josh laughing and Tim looking maniacal in the background!

Poor Josh! We had a rather violent technique used on us when we were kids. My mum tied some cotton thread around the tooth and then the other end of the thread to the door handle of an open door. The she’d slam the door shut. It worked but the whole process was pretty scary!
