Do You Want to See a Magic Trick?

Our kids have had some loose teeth for awhile. We nicknamed Christian shark teeth, shark boy, shark (you fill in the blank) because he had two rows of teeth. A couple of weeks ago, Mike asked Christian if he wanted to see a magic trick. Christian was game so we got out the dental floss and tied it onto a tooth and told him to get ready for the magic trick...and then we yanked. I truly don't know if he really had no idea what was coming, but he said he didn't know. He was pretty excited about losing his first tooth. No real fuss, neat and quick. We wanted to do the other one and get it out of the way but he didn't because, apparently, it hurt. I convinced him that it would hurt later too, so he might as well get it out of the way. He was game again and went for it. Quick and easy. He thought it was pretty cool. His little video is really cute. What a cute kid...

Apparently Katie felt left out because she was ready to get her lose tooth pulled. Amazingly, hers seemed much more loose, but it took forever to get it out. She has great roots and short teeth that make it hard to get out. She was a trooper. I was glad we did both of them the same hour, because I realized her teeth are difficult, not her. :) She wanted to have a video all by herself too, but Christian was being a stinker... That is what a brother is for, right?

So if you need to pull a tooth just ask them if they want to see a magic trick...and yank.

Here is Christian the next day. He found his bunny ears from Easter and was flashing his new toothy smile. Too Cute!! Just had to share it!
