SmallFry has had a loose tooth that is driving him crazy. He has tried everything. I even caught him trying to tie things to the tooth to toss down the stairs (like Scott Calvin did with the toaster in Santa Clause 2). This morning I baked some blueberry muffins for breakfast and that stubborn tooth finally decided to fall out. The kids decided that the muffins were “Knock Your Teeth Out” good. (For the record, no rocks were added to this recipe to facilitate tooth removal.)
