This is the face that says, "I trust you"

I promise this is still Kara's blog and I have no intention of posting frequently, but as I downloaded this photo of my wife's look of TERROR...I had to share.
Jack had a baby tooth that was hanging around too long and before his teeth start looking like Hugh Grant's I figured this is my 'thing' and I should do something about it. For weeks I've been telling Jack to come into my office and let's pull the tooth. Each time it was received with much crying etc...So a couple of weeks ago, after church on a Sunday, I was playing with him on the couch and happened once again to look at his teeth and ask him the golden question. To all of our surprise he said okay...but lets go now. I took him up on the offer. He did GREAT!!! His mom not so much. What does she think I do all day? Is this the face of confidence? Here are a few fun photos of the kids joking with Jack while he was waking up from sedation. Max would say, "wake up little girl" and of course jack would lie motionless with no come back or response. Jack did well and I'm proud of him.

*Kara here...Okay, once again, I feel I need to explain! I do not usually get nervous, and NEVER get grossed out. (Three of my kids have been under general anesthetic before...Jack three times) But, SEEING your child put to sleep is a whole other thing. I did not anticipate that it would be hard for me to see, but it was. Here is your child, laughing (yes the laughing gas made him laugh...a lot) and then all of the sudden he's out cold taking deep wheezing breaths. It's a little unnerving. Of course they had him hooked up to every possible monitoring system, so I knew everything was fine. I think it's just that 'mother instinct' that kicks in because no one was more surprised than I was that it was hard to watch. Paul commented to me that my reaction is exactly why they don't let people come back into the room to watch usually. We just don't understand I guess. So...yes...I became one of those emotional mothers...and we all survived.*
