Eli is one of those kids who loves to loose his teeth. From the moment he realizes they are a tiny bit loose he is "working" them and trying to get them out! Before June he had lost 3 teeth.
I pulled the first one out while he was talking and trying to show me how loose it was. The 2nd, he tied to a doorknob and shut the door and the 3rd came out in a wrestling match with Daddy! But these were not creative enough.
He had been bugging for several days when Dad finally said, "OK Eli how do you want to get it out?"
His response, "well, we could either tie it to a baseball or tie it to the back of your truck."
Since we're pretty sure the neighbors would not understand tying our 6 year old to a truck bumper (even with floss), we opted for the baseball :)
Eli was so excited!
First we attached some floss to a baseball (tape)...
then we got a catcher ready.
Next the other end of the floss had to be tied to the loose tooth!
Then it was go time!
{actually it wasn't}
Not sure if he was backing out or what, but he barely tossed the ball and the string was so long that it just fell to the ground not even pulling at the tooth!
But he quickly regained his composure and tried again!
Success!
baseball and tooth
Proud Eli
With a BIG hole in his mouth!
I'm pretty sure this was not a dentist approved method,
but it worked and he is already scheming for his next loose tooth!
I gotta keep my eye on this little guy!
