Like Pulling Teeth

It’s been a busy last couple of weeks. Just after Christmas, we always have a flurry of birthdays in January so that keeps us hopping.
Morgan has finally lost two more teeth. Her two front teeth are missing. So, I guess that was one Christmas song we won’t have to sing. The first tooth came out last week and it was pretty traumatic. I actually had to pull it out. I opted not to use the String Tied to the Doorknob Trick. After all, Morgan is a wee delicate thing. So, I just very slowly worked it out. There were tears, but mostly at the sight of the blood. Then we reminded her of the Tooth Fairy and everything was just fine.

She couldn’t wait to show everyone at church this morning.
