Collin
Collin's Lost Tooth
September 07 2009 06:11 PM
For a few weeks, Collin has had a loose tooth. For awhile, I didn't push him on it and just forgot about it. This week, however, every time he ate, he complained that his tooth was hurthing him. So I got on his case a bit more to wiggle it and get that dang tooth out! So, we really worked on it and wiggled it and pushed on it. At dinner time, it had become so uncomfortable for him that Matt took him into the front room with a string and tried to pull it out. At this oint, Collin had gotten so upset that he was screaming his little head off, even though Matt was trying his hardest to be gentle. So, I marched in there with a dry cloth, reached my hand in his mouth with the cloth covering his tooth to provide some grip and yanked! Nothing happened except Collin's screaming got a bit louder. I yanked again and the screaming continued. I opened the cloth and there in my hand, was a tiny little tooth. I showed Collin, and his tear-filled eyes got big and his sobs turned to laughter. We got him cleaned up a bit, and he was able to eat dinner without a problem.

That Was So Exciting!
January 22 2009 07:42 PM
Today I went to Macey’s with my friend Steph to get some cereal and chicken because they had awesome sales on both. While I was there, I ran into my Great-Aunt Vee. We chatted for a bit before going on our way and continued our shopping. After she’d gotten done checking out, I was near the front of the store looking for Steph, when Vee approached me again and gave each of my children a dollar for a treat on her. I thought that that was so sweet. So before I put my groceries on the belt to be scanned by the cashier, Danielle, I let the kids pick a candy bar and pay for those first. Since the candy was three for a dollar, I gave Collin Michael’s dollar and let Collin pay for the candy. Danielle scanned it and Collin gave her $2.00. Danielle then handed Collin a receipt and asked Collin if he wanted his change. She dropped several coins into his hand and as she did this, Collin let out a very loud excited sound that I could only describe as a “WHOOP”! He was so excited to have that money! Danielle and I just busted up laughing! It totally made my day! Later, I told Steph what happened. She then told me that Collin had showed her his receipt and told her that “That was so exciting!”
