Earlier this week, Samuel lost a tooth. While we were preparing for a visit from the tooth fairy, Samuel told me that he didn't think it was nice that the grown up teeth push the baby teeth out. He said the grown up teeth were being mean. He was also concerned that the tooth might miss him, so we printed a picture of him and left it for the tooth fairy. He also wrote a letter explaining to the tooth fairy that she was to take the picture along with the tooth, so it wouldn't get lonely.
My children are interesting animals. I am so blessed to be the zookeeper around here!
