Autumn Pulled Her own Tooth
Autumn had a really loose front tooth. She wiggled the tooth all the time, but she wanted to be the one to pull it out.
There was a little drama involved as we tried to get the tooth out…Autumn was eating dinner and started to cry.
The tooth was so loose that when biting into her food it pushed the edges of the tooth up into her gums giving her a sharp pain and bleeding a little.
We told her that the tooth needed to come out, but there was no luck that night.
The same thing happened to Autumn for breakfast, and we said that the tooth had to come out before lunch.
Autumn didn’t want anyone to pull it but herself.
She went upstairs and after quite a long wait, we heard some crying.
She had pulled out her tooth!
After she calmed down, she told us how she pulled it.
Autumn took one of the stretchy exercise bands we have and tied it to the closed bathroom door.
She then put the wash cloth around the stretchy band and put the wash cloth in her mouth.
The stretchy band was already stretched because she was far away enough from the door. She let go and the stretchy band pulled the washcloth witch had caught on one of the edges of the tooth, and out it came!
She did it all by herself, and came up with the idea to use the stretchy band on her own!

It’s been a wild ride trying to get spring to come.
There’s been enough good weather to get some yard work done and take a few pictures outside.
