Wobbly tooth

The Challenge:

corn on the cob v. loose tooth

winner: corn on the cob

Brooklyn had been working on her wobbly tooth for over a month now. If you know Brooklyn, you know she can't be rushed into anything. Especially anything that could possibly involve pain. Swine flu shot- 20 minutes of convincing (including coaxing her out from hiding under the table in the office), multiple old band aids-at least 30 minutes of convincing each time, splinters-same deal. I can say we were concerned when she got her first wobbly tooth that it was going to be a similar battle with her going for days on end with the thing hanging by a string. So we were much relieved when she surprised herself and the rest of us tonight at dinner. No whining, hiding, begging, pleading, tears, etc. Just pure shock and joy. Her comment- I've been waiting my whole life for this.
