Double Yeah

We cleaned up a little in the girls room last night and Emily put the tooth under her pillow so the Tooth Fairy came for a visit! Emily was thrilled.

I am mildly intrigued this morning because I got Emily to wear a air of jeans, but before anyone jumps for joy that she is over her issues, she was feeling extremely flexible this morning and agreed to wear a pair of tights first. I should never have bought the jeans, but in my defense-she asked for them. It is the 3rd pair of pants this last few months that she picked that has been refused for lack of careful inspection-seams down the front of one pair of pants, scratchy knit underside in another-never thought to look at that, and now what I thought was a shock, jeans. I kept the tags on and made her try them on again before clipping them. She promised to wear them. I washed them, then they never got worn. I forced the issue a bit today and suggested them and she agreed, but balked when they touched her skin.

I am beginning to think there is more to this then doctors have said since she has obviously not grown out of it! Lining her toys up in rows, well that has improved, but other things take its place!

Lost Tooth

The Tooth Fairy has not been able to visit the house as the tooth unfortunately was lost by my darling daughter yesterday at some point. I suggested a safe location for the tooth, and she choose another one. Sadly it is lost. Maybe the tooth fairy can leave a little note suggesting her sorrow about not being able to collect the tooth. Any ideas??

The Tooth Fairy is coming!

Emily finally lost her first baby tooth. It has been lose for about 3 weeks. She was eating her breakfast this morning and it fell out. She was a little unnerved at first. But when we got excited and started taking pictures-soon to come I promise-she immediately cheered up and got over the fact that there was blood in her mouth! We told her to put it under her pillow tonight and the tooth fairy would come visit her. Then she wanted to know who that was and what she looked like. Well, shucks. How did my child grow up and not know who she is???? I will have to get creative and do some research on the internet. There is always my tooth fairy costume if all else fails :)

Well, the girls are crying so I should go-let me rephrase- Emily is crying about something Sydney has done to her yet again. What ever happened to the big sister as the torturer? How did she not get that memo? It goes against the rules of nature.

Cinnamon Applesauce & Glue

Yesterday I went and helped out in Sydney's preschool class for about an hour while they were making ornaments. The recipe was a little bit odd. 1 cup Cinnamon, 3 Tbs Applesauce, 2 Tbsp Elmers Glue. It made a delicious smelling paste that the kids could roll out and cut just like regular cookie dough.They made gingerbread cookies, nutcracker, stars, and such. They all had lots of fun and I am excited to get the final results. They have to dry first. Apparently they won't get moldy either. So bizarre. But the classroom smelled great when we were done.

So the other day Emily asked me if we had any Christmas movies, and I realized that other than Polar Express we really don't have any other ones-oh I forgot we also have A Christmas Story. Anyone have any good recommendations for the 3-5 crowd? I don;t think we have rented the Grinch yet, either versions, or the Santa Claus trio for them. Thanks!
