Yippee! a milestone reached!!!

This morning was one of those hectic mornings when I really needed things to go as planned. But we all know what happens in these situations.

Mancub and I are brushing our teeth. He looks down and says "Mom, what is that?"
There was red in his toothpaste spit.
I said "looks like blood."
"UM, Mom, why is there blood?"
"Well let me see that loose front tooth."
In an excited voice, "Please Mom, don't knock my teeth out!"
"I am not going to knock your tooth out, just let me wiggle it."

Ok it is dangling just barely in his mouth. I think that has to come out before he goes to school. So I try to pull it. We go to the sofa screaming and kicking. "Please don't knock my teeth out Mom!!!" He is getting hysterical at this point. His mouth is shut tight, hands over his mouth, eyes closed tight, but still the screams are still making it through.

"ok, I give up," I say. " I have to put on my make up. You sit right there and wiggle that tooth until it comes out. Just twist it."
"Ok Mom, just don't knock it out."
"Ok I promise not to knock it out."

Practically two seconds later. "Oh Mom, here. That was easy."

Tooth is out, I don't have to worry about him eating it or having to worry about it at school. All is well in the world.

Until we get in the car, "Mom!!!! My gum is hanging down!!! The ones on the bottom didn't do that, what is wrong with it? Why did it do that? Did you pull my gum out too?"

I just sigh and think, Motherhood, ain't it great?
