DISQUS

MichelleVeach · 1 year ago

my boys were the same way - stressed till it was done, then "that was it"....

Kevin M. · 1 year ago

Dude, MOST people wait until they fall on their own. That was cruel and unusual punishment that you put your kid through . . . ;)

My son begs for me to pull his teeth out. He's all about that money under the pillow. He's 7 and lost 4 teeth in the last month. Fun times.

Jessica · 1 year ago

Carlos, I read your blog pretty frequently, I'm a friend of Rachel's and have actually met you before at some CFA openings, but that's beside the point... I LOVED this video!! It is so entertaining. Keep them coming and thanks for the laughs.

I don't know of anyone who ever pulled their kid's teeth out like that. My grandpa used to pull his mother-in-law's (my great-grandma) molars with his bare hands when they got bad and would bother her; they didn't believe in/couldn't afford going to the doctor.
I lost my first tooth biting into a cookie, it was a Nilla wafer. I also lost a tooth in a wad of gum, that was fun. My cousins used to do the door knob method. You know take string, loop one end around the tooth, the other to a door knob, then slam the door. Quite effective. Biting an apple works too, but can be painful.

So, Los - does the tooth fairy come to your house?

Kim @ Forever Daisies · 1 year ago

"am i supposed to pull it or rip it?" HAHA! I would have freaked if my parents said that to me! However, I always hate having loose teeth and yanked them out myself! :)

fun video!

i LOVED this video. the music totally made it. aww, bless it. she's so cute. there's something about when kids lose their teeth that just make them look so much older. my nephew is 7 and has no front teeth. it is the saddest thing. lol. congrats on a job well done. my mom would say, "pull it out" and she's a former dental hygienist. so i think you did the right thing.

Clayman · 1 year ago

My oldest was so freaked about it. Now she does it on her own. "Daddy, I lost my other dog tooth today!"

maureen erickson · 1 year ago

FYI...tie dental floss around it, just one loop- not a knot and pull both ends quickly and the tooth pops out.

the picture of her smile at the end... omgoodness, too precious!!

Kevin // My parents pulled mine out. And she asked for it. She was scared she would swallow it at night.
And yea. My parents pulled mine out as well.

My 8 year old prefers the "twisting" method but he has to do it himself.

Oh, one of the most traumatic of childhood experiences -- the wiggly tooth! I HATED it as a kid. This video had me wincing and turning my head repeatedly because I just couldn't keep watching it. Oh, the pain, the worry, the fear! Did you ever wonder, why didn't God just create our teeth so that they could grow with us like the rest of our body parts do so we could avoid the whole terrible thing!?

Liana · 1 year ago

The feeling I had watching that video is the same feeling I have when I watch a horror movie. I was actually covering my eyes and peeking through my fingers. I don't now what I'm going to do when my little one wants me to do the same thing. But I guess that's what dads are for.

Loran · 1 year ago

Dude
I'm 3000 miles away and you had me sitting on the edge of my seat. I almost cheered out loud when it came out.
Great job los & Heather!
You're fun parents!

leigh · 1 year ago

she is the cutest!

Neener · 1 year ago

Admittedly, I don't watch most of your videos. I don't know why I watched this one. Why did I think it was a good idea to watch that??? My teeth hurt for her!!!

I think I was a pansy as a kid because I had to have two of my teeth pulled by a dentist. I guess for my parents $$$ < "rip" out teeth.

beth · 1 year ago

Oh my gosh, that was worst than Jurassic Park,I had both feet up on my chair. I will never be able to do that to my boys!!! She was such a sport, and good job dad. She better get something good from that tooth fairy!

sarah · 1 year ago

you do love that song for all your quasi-intense moments

Anna · 1 year ago

That was one of the coolest, little sweetheart! I loved the music too - totally made it.

Katie · 1 year ago

I love her sweet little trusting face. She knows Daddy's gonna take care of her. I am so not ready for my babies' teeth to start falling out. It's gonna be a "daddy duty" around here.

whittakerwoman · 1 year ago

Thanks baby... H

Brad Ruggles · 1 year ago

Yeah man, there's nothing like wiggling and yanking a little tooth out of your kid's head. I don't know why us Dads enjoy that kind of stuff so much but we do.

Mandy · 1 year ago

How much is she getting for the first one? that's a biggie! Of course, then she'll expect that much for EACH tooth.

The going rate here (Granger) is $20 a tooth. GASP!

Jenni Catron · 1 year ago

Ok, that totally stressed me out!

Tracy Edwards · 1 year ago

I have two empty operatories in my dental practice if you would like to expand your patient base!!! I loved this video. She is amazingly cute!

Andy McMahon · 1 year ago

This video was awesome. I want to see the video of the Tooth Fairy now...

Outfit and all.......


I'm just sayin....

jessica · 1 year ago

You did a much better job than my dad! He stood me up on the hearth and used the wire pliers. I am not kidding! So glad Sohalia's experience was better! She is so cute!

Heather · 1 year ago

LOVE the dramatic background music!

Amy (Dandelion Seeds) · 1 year ago

Too funny! So, FYI for next time... use some anbesol... it's easier to "yank" it when it's numb! :)

Aaron · 1 year ago

You guys are such good parents!

I am pretty sure the old man tore out my first few. To a 7 year old my father has HUGE HANDS so I got all freaked out and said "Forget this! I am doing it myself." We used ambesol (sp) a lot to numb things, too.

I am curious if the Whittakers are going to have a tooth fairy come an visit.

Rachel · 1 year ago

My son had a hard time with his front tooth and my husband and I had just decided we would to let it fall out on it's own...a few days later we were eating at McDonald's and my son took a bite of his cheeseburger and out came the tooth. He's response.."someone's tooth is in my cheeseburger" He didn't even realize it came out.
Do you guys do the tooth fairy thing? If so how much do you give? This is an ongoing disagreement at our house.

Brandy · 1 year ago

She is so stinkin cute! My four year old is DYING to lose a tooth, I will let him watch this....he can live vicariously through her.

Eric · 1 year ago

Hey Carlos, our son Brennan lost his first tooth on the 19th of July! I feel ya man!

Peace,

E

Kevin M. · 1 year ago

Carlos, just yanking your chain! ;)

BTW, awesome video!! The music definitely added to the excitement! :)

krissy leigh · 1 year ago

i had to watch this with my hands over my eyes.. ahh!!!
she's such a cutie. you are a good daddy!

Meghan · 1 year ago

So my mom has totally done the whole "just let me look at it" thing and the next thing i know my tooth is in her hand!

my brother who is 13 yrs younger lost his first tooth one day in preschool during lunch in his hotdog! his teacher FREAKED, but he seems unphased. it was pretty amazing.

Amber · 1 year ago

I was so stressed out watching that. I love the drama of the music you chose. You're funny.

daphne · 1 year ago

That vidoe had me on the edge of my seat like a season fanalie of Lost! I gotta go lie down. Congrats people!!

soozieque · 1 year ago

I could tell you were nervous! I don't remember my parents ever pulling my teeth out for me, pretty much because as soon as one came loose I went after it myself like a mad fiend. If the had ambesol back then (numbs your gums, great stuff) then I probably would have taken a pair of pliers to my loose teeth!

eryn · 1 year ago

i love your life too.. haha

Keith · 1 year ago

OOoohhh! The Drama!!!
Priceless, Los!

stephen · 1 year ago

That stresses me out...I'm seriously kinda being a wuss about this. And then I'm almost in tears thinking about my own little girls.

There is NOTHING in life even close to being a parent. I could be dirt poor (wait...I already am), living in a box, blind, deaf, and mute, and my girls would still give me enough happiness to fill a thousand lifetimes.

Anthony C. · 1 year ago

Dang! That music added suspense! lol. congrats on the tooth pulling los.

amy sanders · 1 year ago

my four year old just watched this...good prep for what's to come. maybe you guys could start a video school of stuff like this. ;)

kristicw · 1 year ago

Geez - that was stressful!

Jacinda · 1 year ago

I just wish it happened when I was there! The girls watched it with me and Kiara said," Awwww. I'm so proud of Sohaila! I wish I could have wiggled her tooth!"

Rhi · 1 year ago

you know. i'm sure the video would've been perfect the way it was. but truly. the editing and music just added that last touch. SO CUTE! I got like 4-5 years before i'll have to deal with that. i'll call you and heather in to do it for me. =0)
