Don't Mess with Nana!

Spencer's family came for a visit last weekend and we had so much fun. Lots and lots of pictures to share, but for now I was to share my favorite moment from the whole weekend. 

Ayden has had a loose tooth for weeks. It was at a weird angle that stuck straight out and he looked really goofy. And we have been trying to get it out. Meaning: we have been trying to get him let us get it out. On Sunday night, Spencer and his brother, Stephen, tried and tried to get Ayden to let them twist, pull, push, wiggle, or anything that might get it out. But Ayden wouldn't budge, he was scared of the pain. So we let it go for the night. But by Monday, I was on a mission again to get that silly tooth out. So I made a deal with him that if we got it out, we could eat pizza for lunch (his favorite). Spencer and I tried for at least 30 minutes to even pry his mouth open to let us look at it. Finally, somehow, Spencer tried the string technique. He got it tied around his tooth, but if we even glanced at the string, Ayden flipped out. That's when Nana stepped. She walked up to Ayden in the bathroom and said "here, Ayden let me look." And before he could even react, she pulled on the string and the tooth popped out! 

I love it! It was so hilarious to me that we struggled with him forever on this and Barbara just walked in and in 2 seconds (literally) the whole thing was over!  We all had a good laugh from it, even Ayden. 

Ayden was very excited to have his tooth out because he knew the Tooth Fairy would be visiting. And his Nana informed him that the Tooth Fairy always brings extra when you have your grandparents staying. So he eagerly looked forward to morning. And the Tooth Fairy didn't disappoint. He found $5 under his pillow. Wow, a very generous Tooth Fairy. 

The lesson I learned: don't mess with Nana, when she means business there's no stopping her!! Thanks so much Barbara.
