Goodbye Tooth #5

Posted on January 22, 2011 3:42 pm by TheAngelForever

Dear NHL,

Over the last three weeks, you have lost three new teeth. The latest came out while you were waking up this morning. I have to admit, I am VERY glad to see this tooth gone. For quite some time, this pesky tooth has been twisted in the front of your mouth. We knew that it was probably ready to come out, but it did not want to give.

On the snow day last week, JSL bumped into your face. You were hurt and came running to me. I immediately saw blood coming from your mouth. I feared the worst since we were getting 13” of snow outside. Luckily, it was just your brother knocking your tooth into a new direction.

That little tooth held on for another week. Friday while in school you must have eaten something that bothered it and once again it started to bleed. When you told me about this, I will admit I was starting to plot how to help you get that top front tooth out.

Thankfully your tooth must have had enough. Now we have to get ready for another visit from the Tooth Fairy tonight. Here’s a look at your rather toothless smile:

Keep up the great work getting the teeth out on your own. I have a feeling we may have the other top one coming out sooner rather than later. Man, you sure are giving the Tooth Fairy a workout.

Love,

Mommy

Tooth Fairy Time Again

Posted on January 10, 2011 11:24 am by TheAngelForever

Sunday morning NHL was eating breakfast on the couch. TechyDad was getting ready to take him for his Hebrew lesson. Suddenly, I heard NHL yell that he lost his tooth. I went into the room and he was laughing and way too calm. I honestly did not believe that a tooth had been lost.

Why? A little history. Prior to this, NHL had needed assistance from the dentist to get his teeth out. In fact, the last time the teeth did not loosen up a lot and he was afraid of them coming out. When we noticed that he had 3-4 wiggly teeth, he was excited. We would often find him with his hands in his mouth wiggling them to get them out. Suddenly he was interested in a visit from the Tooth Fairy.

So on Sunday I watched as he got up off the couch to search for something. I asked what he was looking for. Again, he told me his tooth. So I asked NHL to open his mouth and show me.

Oh my goodness! Not only did NHL have a tooth missing, it was different than the one I was expecting to come out first. So the two of us looked on the couch and we quickly found it. While he was showing the tooth to JSL and TechyDad, I went to locate the Tooth Fairy pillow.

Last night the Tooth Fairy came to our house. She left NHL a new book, dollar coin, and a note. Now we wait and see when the next visit will be. My guess it will be sooner rather than later.

What did you get from the Tooth Fairy as a child and what do your children get these days? Inquiring minds would love to know.

Toy Story 3 on Ice – Family Night

Posted on December 18, 2010 10:24 pm by TheAngelForever

Dear NHL and JSL,

Tonight we went to see Disney on Ice. The two of you had seen the commercials on TV for quite some time. Papa mentioned that he had gotten you tickets, so you both knew it was only a matter of time.

NHL, this was the third Disney on Ice show that you have been to. You were a pro and knew what to expect when we walked into the arena. I think JSL was a little overwhelmed. He was mesmerized by all of the merchandise for sale when you walked in, the people selling items at the seats, and then the show itself.

Daddy and I decided to get both of you some Toy Story hats that came with cotton candy. They were cute and I think both of you will enjoy them more at home. Here are a few pictures:

Now we just have to hope that Daddy can rescue the photos from his new camera. Something went wacky during the show and they may be gone. Thank goodness I took my camera along.

I can not wait to talk to both of you in the morning about the show. I just hope you sleep in a little since you were up so late. Looking forward to more magical memories with both of you in the future.

Love,

Mommy

A Magnetic Discovery of the 3 year old kind

Posted on November 19, 2010 12:00 am by TheAngelForever

Thursday afternoon, JSL and I had a date. We were going to The Children’s Museum at Saratoga to explore before I was set to finish an interview with their Education Director for KidsFunPlaza. We had been to the museum before, but it was when JSL was so little that he did not recall anything. The two of us had a fabulous time checking out all of the different displays and learning areas within the two floors of exhibits.

While in the school house room, the little guy was fascinated with a magnetic ball maze that was on the table. What I captured next was fascinating to watch. Here is my three year old making a magnetic discovery.

This truly is what The Children’s Museum at Saratoga and countless others around the world are about. They are there to allow children and adults to bond over learning experiences that are developmentally appropriate for the child.

So my question to you this week:

What is your favorite museum to go to (with your family or alone) and why?
