What if the tooth fairy was a boy?

At Allyson's 6th birthday, we noticed that she had a second set of teeth growing behind her first set of baby teeth. Just like any concerned mother would, I called her dentist to see if this is normal. Well to my surprise, it was normal, however he still wanted to take a double look. So yesterday, I took all of the kids into the dentist office for their 6 month check up and to my surprise, Allyson's was more than a checkup as I anticipated. After taking thorough Xrays again, they discovered that the root on Ally's two front teeth were EXTREMELY long so they had to do a surgical "wiggle". I don't know if you can see it in her hand, but the root is the long white thing, one of the longest roots I have ever seen. After the trauma of the blood and anesthetic, Ally was sure happy to know that the tooth fairy would be coming to her house. This was our discussion:

A: "How does the Tooth Fairy come in the house?"
L: "It all depends, sometimes she can fly through a window, or sometimes she can come through the door."
A: "What if my door is locked?"
L: "Then I guess that she will have to knock on the door".
A: "But then I would see her and she wouldn't be able to leave me a surprise"
L: "Well then we better leave the window and the door unlocked so that she can come in."
A: "Mommy, what if the tooth fairy was a boy?"
L: "Then he would look pretty funny wearing tight tights and fairy dust"
A: "That would be really funny, what if she looks under my pillow and doesn't see it under my pillow?"
L: "The tooth fairy knows where to look, that is one of her special things".
A: "What if she can't open the tooth box?"
L: "She can wave her special fairy wand and it opens up or sometimes, if it is small enough, she will take the whole box and put it in her special bag!"
A:" Oh okay, goodnight mommy! I better go to sleep before the tooth fairy comes."

She was so excited to find the money in the morning, she had to wake everyone up to tell us! Yeah Ally~ (Now go back to bed it is only 5:30 in the morning!

I'm a Big Boy Now!

I know that I am totally going to end up jinksing myself with this, but I am happy to report that Dylan is finally potty trained!!!!! YEAH~ We haven't had any accidents for at least a week (knock on wood) and we aren't using pullups at all anymore! We have graduated to the big boy underpants, Elmo and Sesame Street to be exact! He has woken up with a dry bed everyday this week and all last week. He is so proud of himself that he even goes around the house singing the potty song and high fiving everyone in the house. Come on all you mom's, you know that you have heard it or even caught yourself humming it in your head while cleaning the house or maybe even when you were on your way to the bathroom too. All of those potty stories are nothing but a reminiscent of time. It seems like only yesterday, I was trying to teach you how to put your clothes on. Yeah Dylan, we are so proud of you! Keep up the excellent work~

Is she cut out to be a super star?

There is always that feeling of over joy as you sit back and watch your child do something to make you proud. Well, last night I had the privilege to attend my very first school concert for Allyson I have attached some of the pictures that Louis took and I am still trying to download the video! As you will find out shortly, Allyson stole the show, I have yet to figure out if that is a good thing or a bad thing. She had MANY compliments from the audience and definitely from her music teacher and her classroom teacher! Thanks kindergarten classes.

BATHROOM RENOVATION!!!!!!!

Every woman who has ever been pregnant knows that there always has to be changes done somewhere. It is called the nesting stage, well unlike most women, my nesting stage always comes early during my pregnancies. So we have been trying to work on updating our bathroom. We just started the project last Saturday and so we haven't gotten very far. Well as most house projects go, there always seems to be a snag somewhere along the line, well ours was found!!!!! We found that we have to replace the drywall around our tub and quite possibly the flooring in front of our tub. There were holes hidden behind the wallpaper that are obviously going to have to be fixed. So what we thought was going to be a quick fix, is going to take some time. But that is ok, that just means that I get a new bathroom! YIPPEE!!!!! More finished project pictures to come~ Stay Tuned!

No ladies, you are not seeing double, so don't worry about having your eyes checked again! I just couldn't make up my mind as to which one I liked the best. So you get two for the price of one. These pictures were just so cute that I had to post them for my family and friends. It is so amazing to me that even in the womb they are happy! So HE/SHE is waving in the top right picture and in the bottom left picture, HE/SHE is really relaxed with the hands behind the head and one of HIS/HER legs is propped up on the other. That is some serious slackin' chillaxin!

So I went in for my ultrasound today and they did their normal check on the baby to make sure that the due date was still the same and to measure the baby to see if HE/SHE is growing properly and growing according to the guessed due date. The baby measures about 3 days less than what my due date is, so maybe if I am REALLY lucky, maybe HE/SHE will be born three days later on my birthday!!!! I already share my birthday with my sister, so why not have the opportunity to share it with my own child. We will just have to wait and see!!!!
