First Child With No Front Teeth
This was quite the event getting Maggie to pull her tooth out. I think we have about 16 takes on the video camera. We tried the old string on the tooth and slam the door trick, then Kevin tricked her and yanked on the string around her tooth. That almost did it. Then we all gathered in the bathroom trying to convince her to pull it out on her own. We gave up and left her in the bathroom alone. Two minutes later she emerged from the bathroom calmly saying, "I pulled it out."
We always knew Cora would be the first child to send us to the ER. She decided, per her sisters instructions, to jump into the pool facing the wall. Her chin smacked the edge of the pool. Ouch!!! The thought just makes you shudder. We were at the ER for six hours, and Cora did great. (We spared you the gruesome pictures, of her opened wound. It looked like a second mouth)
Cooper's First Major League Baseball Game
(Houston Astros)
This is a big event for our family. Especially our little boy. As my friend Shelbi said it was his first game, "but certainly not his last!" Too true! This was a fun night, and a long drive. We drove three hours to the game and three hours back when it was over. We all had a good time and Cooper was pooped by the end. What a cutie!
