Dear Tooth Fairy

Yesterday at school my 7 year old son Jack, lost a tooth. He was wiggling it and it just fell out. He has always been very apprehensive when it comes to pulling out his teeth. He cries every time we pull one no matter how loose it is.

One time, Grandma Ruth gave it $20 to make him stop crying and let her pull the tooth. The tooth was so loose Grandma just had to be lift it out, but he was still hysterical.

He was so excited to tell me all about his tooth when I picked him up from school. The first thing he said was "I didn't even cry!" At our house the tooth fairy runs internet specials and her tooth rate varies daily to encourage kids to pull there teeth out in timely manner. I told Jack the tooth fairy pays an extra dollar if you don't cry when you lose a tooth. (I'll do anything to prevent crying in the future). Before he went to bed he wrote this letter to the the tooth fairy.
Ms. Fairy,
My mom said if you dont cry while getting a tooth pulled you get 1 extra dollar. Can I get 2 extra dollars? Because I pulled it out and didn't cry.

From Jack Thank you.


I LOVE this boy! He is so funny!!

Funny things kids say

I am pretty sure Sadie is by far the most nuts out of all the kids. She thinks she is such a big girl, mind you she is only two. Alyssa who is 3-1/2 still likes help wiping her bottom. Frequently we hear her yelling from the bathroom (with attitude of course) these words: "Someone wipe by butt!" What can I say? She isn't very lady-like, we are working on that.
After Alyssa yells this we hear Sadie yell "Me, Me, Me!" as she takes off running for the bathroom. It is literally a race to beat Sadie to the bathroom. When she does beat us there, she takes a look and we then hear her say "EEEWWW!" She cracks me up!


Jack is always mixing up names of things and calling them something different. At dinner last night he asked "Do you know who John F. Kidney is?"
