I can't believe how fast we are getting old


Erik is struggling today, he cannot grasp the idea of having a child old enough to lose a tooth. Eliza lost her first tooth. She notified me of a loose tooth on Friday at lunch. Within twenty-four hours she had lost it. Needless to say the toothfairy was totally unprepared and their was a little stress between Erik and I as we had not yet discussed how the toothfairy would work in our family. Somehow the toothfairy did come but I think it will be a little different next time if he's better prepared. By the way that was another part of our discussion. I believe the toothfairy is a "he." Erik wasn't so sure. Of course if you've seen "The Santa Claus" you know he is a man. Anyway, we have a kid old enough to lose teeth and go to kindergarten in a few weeks. And Erik just keeps repeating that randomly throughout the day. Poor guy.

New Haircut


Belle looked a little different to me today. After admiring how grown-up she's looking for some time, I realized she has bangs now. I asked aloud, "Did someone cut your hair Belle?" She was quiet. When everyone else said they had nothing to do with it, I asked, "How did you do it, Belle?" She said she held the scissors up and they cut through it. She doesn't know where the hair she cut off went. But I am very impressed with how nice a job she did.
