Tooth be gone

Last month, while camping with the extended family, Liam complained of his tooth being loose after eating corn on the cob. I felt it and nothing moved, so we told him he was fine.

The same thing happened again this month, also while camping and after eating corn on the cob. This time, though, his tooth really was loose. He's only just barely 5! He kept playing with it, of course, but I figured we had a little time. He apparently got sick of it, because last night he grabbed hold of it and pulled it out himself.

This morning, he looked at the glass where we put his tooth last night and said "The tooth fairy really really came!" I am so glad he's excited. This picture isn't great, but he was about to fall asleep and it's hard to show the missing tooth.

Bedtime

Our boys have never had a great bedtime ritual. When we were in Alaska, it worsened substantially. Since we've been back, though, I think we found our answer. Cole doesn't get a nap. He goes to bed first at 7 or so, and then Liam goes to bed after Cole's asleep.

This evening, Jeff and the boys were talking about the routing. Jeff told Cole to play for a little bit before going to bed. Cole asked, "I have to go to bed again?!" incredulously. He and Jeff then had a bit of an argument about whether or not that was true. He did, though, and fell asleep within 5 minutes. Yeah!
