R2 finally lost his first tooth!! There was tears and screaming and tight lips so no one could get at the tooth for a while. Then when it was out, life was okay again. Garth is the designated tooth puller since Mom can't handle blood and things were pretty exciting for about 15 minutes.
What were his brother's doing while the tooth was being extracted?????
Bob was waaaayyy excited and wanted to be his helpful (NOT) self as usual. When the tooth was pulled he said "Okay now for the next one!" (Not the most helpful thing to say.) This is a picture of him looking in the mirror at Garth and R2 but that smile was on his face the whole time.
With Spike, it was a different story. Pulling teeth has been a very traumatic thing for him. His roots never fully disolved so it really hurt bad for him to get a tooth pulled. Plus, the last four were pulled by the dentist. The dentist felt so bad about how traumatized he was that he said next time he will sedate Spike to pull any more teeth. So the whole time the tooth was being pulled, he sat with his head between two pillows, almost in tears - poor Spike.It wouldn't be any fun if life weren't so interesting...

I remember Dad tackling me to the ground and pulling out a tooth while Kenna hovered gleefully above me. Siblings are great...
Corn on the cob works really well at getting teeth out. You just have to be careful not to swallow the tooth along with the corn! I remember doing it that way.
Bethany was so traumatized that she locked herself in the bathroom. Marah's two girlfriends finally were allowed in, and they helped her pull that first tooth! I think because the Mikesells lose their teeth at older ages than most, they have more time to get nervous about it. Maybe?
