Loose Tooth

About a week ago, Kenna suddenly started crying in sacrament meeting, hard and loud.  I had to take her out.  I haven't had to take her out of sacrament for a couple of years.  What caused all this drama, you ask?  One of her brothers hit her, maybe?  Oh no.  The cause was she had just discovered she had her first loose tooth.  Wow.  All my other children had been really happy about their first loose tooth.  I was taken by surprise.  She didn't want to lose her teeth, they are so pretty, how would she eat, etc.  I finally got her calmed down.  By the end of church, she was excitedly telling everyone about it.  Fast forward to this Sunday.  Kenna hadn't wiggled that tooth much, so it stayed put.  We had corn on the cob for dinner and I guess she forgot.  She took a big bite and all of a sudden that tooth was much looser.  This video pretty much sums up her response. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAIdFIvszC4 She finally settled down again, very worried that the tooth would fall out in her sleep and she would swallow it.

Monday morning. after she got up, her tooth fell out and she was all smiles.  She won't leave it for the tooth fairy yet though, she still wants to keep it   .http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AutwhDrTSH4

Happy Mother's Day

For any of you who need a little Mother's Day laugh, here's the poem Chase wrote for me for Mother's Day.
                                                           Mom
                                          The Wind Beneath My Wings
                                                       by Chase
Whenever I hear the choir,
     I remember you complaining about not wanting to go to practice on Sunday.
Whenever I taste a gross veggie,
     I remember you making me eat one.
Whenever I smell hot pizza,
     I remember you making it every Friday.
Whenever I touch foam soap,
     I remember you always buying it.
Whenever I see a Dr. Pepper,
     I remember you trying to stop drinking it.
You are my Mom,
     My Hero
           The Wind Beneath My Wings

Happy Mother's Day to all of you wonderful mothers.
