Ben's second loose tooth was becoming a bit annoying. He would walk around wiggling it with his tongue and lip. It was so loose it could go all the way forward and lay flat in his mouth. It was just hanging on by a little piece in the front but I couldn't grab it with my fingers well enough to pull it out - they are really small teeth! 7 mm long and 4 mm wide, he had me measure them. Anyway, I had him go get Kevin's
Leatherman tool and I grabbed the tooth with the pliers. It slipped the first time but I got a better hold the next time and it came out. There was only a little bit of blood. I so wish my dad was here with his pliers so that he could do it and I wouldn't have to. But at least now I know I can do it, when it comes right down to it.

Joshua's second is ready to come out too but he won't let me pull it. These two could be twins!

Wow! I've never had to use pliers. I use a tissue or paper towel to get a hold of the tooth. I don't really enjoy doing it but, tooth pulling always falls to me. Jared is totally grossed out by it.
