Joseph came to me the other day, shouting "I know what tooth I will lose first!" He went on to show me his loose tooth. I must say, I was slightly emotional. I showed him how to work on it, to get it loose enough to pull. Then we talked about methods of pulling teeth. I told him of the time I pulled his Uncle Tim's tooth out with a string tied to the door. Later that week, the tooth was about to come out. I went to pull it and he declared that the tooth must go the way Tim's went. Today was the big day! We had the whole family help. I tied the string to the tooth, Noah opened the door and David filmed. After a few failed attempts, David just yanked the string sending the tooth down the hallway. It was an adventure and I can't wait to come up with other ways to get the rest of his teeth out. I wonder how much money he'll get?? He hopes it's worth $100.
I'm looking for some more creative ways to pull his teeth. Please, send me your ideas. We'll film his next tooth being pulled using the best method suggested. It won't be too long from now, there are plenty of other teeth wiggling around in his mouth.

Those little teeth are hard to get a hold of! Tell him congratulations! Emma lost her first one on the bottom, too, and was so proud!
My sister used to sit me on the toilet (lid down) and make me squeeze a roll of toilet paper while she pushed my tooth back and forth. Finally she just yanked the sucker out. Funny, this memory is vivid for me, but she couldn't even remember! By the way, this method was used a few times.
Is this normal?
No, this is not normal. Most people leave their baby teeth in their mouths and allow for the adult teeth to grow in...trying to create rows like sharks.
