Lost Tooth

 

 



McKenna lost her first tooth!!!
She was so brave. It had been bothering her for a few days. Scott had been working on it for a while with floss. That was not working so he got a pair of small pliers. She didnt even flinch. So BRAVE!!!!

Sense we are on the topic of McKenna. Here is a great story. Her teacher told me this yesterday while I was working in the class.
Last week McKenna beat up a boy on the bus. She scratched his face and gave him a fat split lip. Her teacher asked her, "McKenna did you do this to AJ?" McKenna said, "If I tell you will I get in trouble?" It took everything the teacher had not to laugh. Her teacher said "Well you might because we don't hit. Its not nice. Why did you hit AJ?" McKenna "He was hitting me and he wouldn't stop when I asked him to so I punched him." Her teacher told her not to hit again and next time tell the bus driver and move away from him. McKenna said ok and went on her way. Mrs. Burk told me that even though she is not allowed to say to the children "what comes around goes around." That fit this situation perfectly. McKenna was not reprimanded for her behavior, and I have not received a call from the principle. "what comes around goes around." had a silent victory. So there bullies!! I haven't told her this, but part of me is proud of her, for standing up for herself.
Miss you all we will see you all soon.

Go, McKenna!! First your brawl with a bully and than not even flinching when your dad pulls out your tooth. Believe me, if that had been Grandpa Cook, you'd be flinching!! Good job! I'm proud of you!!

A big part of me is proud of her for standing up for herself. The sad part is the boy probably has a crush on her. Silly boys! And they start so young!!!
