Hi friends,
I am sorry to be soo absent for soo long. I have only been able to read a bit.....just saw the thread on Emily and Collin and Ava Elizabeth. I miss all of you terribly. Can just stay a few as Patrick's IEP is in the morning and I haven't even started the paperwork...yuck.
Just wanted to brag about my little man. He lost his first tooth sometime in the early fall and I didn't even know it had happened. I think I found the tooth and put it away...but Patrick had no concept of what was going on...so we didn't make a big deal of it. Well.....what a difference a school year makes . Tonight, my little man before bed is talking about the tooth fairy...and I can understand and figure him out (this is amazing in and of itself). We have a little tooth shaped pillow that grandmama gave his older brother that has been passed down to Patrick. It has a little pocket where you put the tooth. Anyway, I thought he had maybe heard something at school or on the new computer site he had been playing (PBS kids) and that's why he mentioned it...so we got out the tooth pillow and he wanted to stick it under his bed pillow. I reminded him that the tooth fairy won't come until he loses a tooth. He then proceeded to show me his tooth that is almost out. He went to bed and later when Dad came home and went to tell him goodnight, the tooth had come out and was in the bed! So, Patrick got to put it in the pouch, under the pillow. He was all smiles.
I just made the tooth fairy visit and am the proud owner of a teeny tiny tooth. So, now the boy knows the ropes and will be hoping to loose more teeth soon. I am so happy for him that he is so excited and really "gets it". On the other hand, I am thankful he still has quite a way to go as far as numbers and money, cause a $20 bill was all Dad had and so I am really gonna have to request a partial tooth fairy refund!
Love to you all,
Tricia
