First lost tooth and the Tooth Fairy

Today, after we got out of the pool and were drying off, we had the most exciting thing happen. Grace's first tooth fell out! She was drying her face and mouth, and the towel caught onto her tooth, and out it fell! She was completely on cloud nine. That night, she put her tooth in her special tooth fairy pillow, and gently placed it under her pillow. When she woke up in the morning, the tooth was gone, and in its place were FOUR QUARTERS! The Tooth Fairy also left some of her fairy dust on the side of the bed.

Freeeeeeee!

I am Freeeeeeeeeeeeee!
School's out and summer is here. I am super duper excited! YIPPEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

Loose Teeth and No Sleep

About a month ago, we went to the dentist for Grace and Sarah's five year checkup, and their teeth got a clean bill of health! As Grace was getting her teeth cleaned that day, the hygenist noted that she had one loose tooth! None of us had any idea. Needless to say, Grace was ever so excited about that and enjoyed telling everyone the news. So every few days, we wiggle that bottom tooth to check its progress. Yesterday, we wiggled again, and, low and behold, the tooth right next to the loose one is now loose. Two loose teeth at once!! This is going to get reeeeally exciting! Anyone want to place a bet on how long it's going to take for her teeth to come out?? I say late July.

On a less exciting note, Mia is still making us oh so tired. Last night, she was up four different times, crying and yelling for "mommy." Oy vey. When will this end? Will I ever get eight uninterrupted hours of sleep again?

Bald Part 2

So Carey is now bald, too. In support of Amy, he had Scott shave his head on Sunday. First, Grace, Sarah and Mia took turns cutting it with scissors, then Scott took the electric trimmer and shaved those puppies down to the scalp. He sure does look different!
