TIDBITS

Isaac has slept in his bed, in his own room, by himself now for five consecutive days. This also means that for five consecutive days? He's had candy for breakfast. With chocolate milk. I think we have finally taken care of the sleep situation, he seems completely comfortable in his own room now, and is even super proud of himself in the morning when he does make his way into my room. Now if we could only keep him and his brother from falling out of bed..... Keven Jr. lost a tooth last night. It's been loose for a while now, maybe a month or two, but the other day when he was talking to me, the tooth was jutted out further than the rest of his baby teeth. I took a peek into his mouth and noticed that his adult tooth was coming through already so I told him it needed to come out soon. He has a dentist appointment on Monday, I told him that the dentist would probably yank it out (which would HURT) if he didn't do so beforehand. Last night at dinner he was whining and crying about how his tooth hurt. He didn't want to eat his dinner because his tooth was hurting so I offered to pull it out for him. And he totally let me! About an hour later when it finally did come out, he giggled his fool head off and then raced outside with his tooth in a Ziploc to show all of his friends. At bedtime he put the baggie under his pillow and checked it first thing this morning when he woke up. He was happy to see that the tooth fairy did come, and couldn't wait to show his mouth off to his friends when he got to school. What's the going rate for the Tooth Fairy these days anyway? Speaking of school, we start Tuesday. I can't believe the summer is over. But I can't complain, we had a fun-filled summer. I'm excited for Keven Jr. and for what's to come now that he'll be in 1st grade and I'm as equally excited for Isaac to start speech therapy later on this month. It's hard for me at times to wrap my head around the fact that they are growing up so quickly. And I can't do anything about it.
