that stylin' kid

After having a bit of an accident this past week, all is well in our household, with no major (permanent!) damage to Bella thankfully.  Truly, if anyone can pass off a missing top tooth for a couple years with style, it's her!

first day of school

Well, the girls are into their second week of school.  They are both enjoying it a lot, although when I asked Lola how her day went yesterday, she replied -
   'It was boring!' 
   'How come?' I asked.  
   'All we did was work!'
I guess the first few days of taking it easy are over!

another one gone

Lola lost another tooth today and was so excited.  Even though it's been loose for a while, I think it took her by surprise as she has been wiggling it for what she thought was forever.  'I never thought it would fall out, but it did...just like you said, momma!'  

I think what surprised me was once the excitement wore off, she was quite sad about losing it.  She of course wanted the tooth fairy to come, but she also didn't want to give up her tooth.  'Can the tooth fairy come, but leave my tooth with me?  I've had it so long I'm going to miss it!'

So we compromised.

She gave it a hug and talked to it before putting it under her pillow. 'I'll miss you tooth, thanks for helping me eat my food.' 

We took a gazillion pictures of it. From every.possible.angle.  

It made her happy.  Which of course made me happy.
