Toothless Joe

Happy Easter

The kids could NOT wait for Easter. Tori woke up early on Saturday morning asking if it was Easter. We sent her back to bed pronto and kept them up late that night so they would fall asleep quickly. We helped the Easter bunny do his thing, and Eli got up around 6 on Sunday, followed by the other two half an hour later.

Eli and Tori were floored with their goodies. Christian, not so much. He got what he asked for, plus, but wasn’t real thrilled, though he told me later he had a good time. He was more interested in hunting down the eggs, and away he went, with Tori not far behind. Once that was over, he got down to business, putting together his Lego fortress and checking out all of his other goodies.

He ended the day by telling me that he wishes Easter were on a Saturday so he could have one more day to play with his new stuff!

Nearly Toothless

Christian lost his bottom two teeth a few months ago. The permanent ones are now in. He has lost one front tooth and another is about to come out. He looks pretty funny right now with a big gap and one VERY loose tooth hanging down. He is wiggling it like crazy, so maybe it will come out soon and he can stop eating on the side of his mouth so much. The Tooth Fairy better get ready to make another stop at our house.

Update: He lost it at school today...the Tooth fairy is not prepared!

Another One Bites the Dust

Christian lost another tooth, but this time it was at Grandma's house. He was wrestling around with another kid and got hit in the mouth. Naturally blood flowed and Christian fretted as he hates the sight of blood. The tooth stayed in, even though Grandma offered to pull it. He was having none of that! It fell out later that night and he has it in a bag all ready to come home for the tooth fairy. He didn't want to have the tooth fairy visit him in Olathe, so he's saving it for the trip home. On Saturday night the tooth fairy will be visiting him while he's sleeping in his bed.

Cub Scouts One More Time

The school is attempting to start another scout troop. Huts and I were not positive about the outcome, but Huts says there are a lot more people interested this time around. So, maybe it will work. Christian sure seems excited about it. He was anxious all evening, thinking they weren’t going to make it to the meeting. Then he brought home a couple of magazines and showed me lots in them. Hopefully it will work this time around. Keep your fingers crossed.
