The first one.

This was a big deal.   Zina was so excited when her tooth started to get loose.  Ellie and Kate both had loose and falling out teeth and Zina was thrilled to have one too.  But she wasn't super thrilled at the thought of pulling it out.  Our first stop in Utah found us sitting downstairs at Grandma Judy's visiting with Uncle Travis.  Somehow between Travis, and Mark discussing teeth falling out, maturity and bravery(along with a healthy dose of verbal manipulation) Zina was convinced to tie a string to her tooth with the other end around a door knob and let Mark slam the door.  I think it was the numbing orajel that Mark said her would put on her gums that convinced her.  She probably didn't even need it though because as you can see in the first video her tooth is hanging on by a thread.  It was fun either way and boy did she feel pretty awesome for being brave enough to let her Papa do the door trick.  But that's Zina for you.  She's just pretty awesome in every single way.








And there she is her very first missing tooth just in time for Christmas!

didn't see the video, but she is sure brave if she let the door pull it out. Jaycie wants a loose tooth SO bad. All her friends have lost a tooth (or so she says) and she wants to have that experience as well.

Okay, so those videos are classic. I laughed all the way through both. Zina is VERY brave and I'm VERY impressed Mark talked her into it. :) So cute.
