Favorite Spot

In our bedroom we have an alcove designed to hold a TV, and under it we have another one that I have yet to figure out why it is there. Gavin has figured it out though! He loves this spot. Anytime we are in my room he crawls up into this little hole. After the bath last night he made his way over there and I had to get a picture of it. What a cutie!!

Sweet Success

I bribed this boy with everthing under the sun if he would go poo in the potty! Unlike every other child nothing worked. He finally gave in and on Friday (a week later) he was rewarded with a trip to the candy store with Dad. This is what he came home with!
After he was done at the candy store he asked Jared to go to Target so he could also get his Nintendo DS! haha....I said I would buy him one in a moment of weakness and desperation. A mom's gotta do what a mom's gotta do, I just didn't think that he would remember! (And, no he is not getting one.)

Lost Tooth

A couple months ago I noticed that Kailtin had cut her permanent front tooth behind her baby tooth that had not fallen out yet. We went to the dentist and they told us that the baby tooth showed no signs of falling out ever!! She was having work done on one of her back teeth, so while her mouth was numb they pulled it out. She was excited to have finally lost a tooth. Last night she said, "I'm so lucky that I'm the first one in the family that gets to be visited by the tooth fairy!"

Even though she technically didn't lose a tooth, the tooth fairy still came and left her one dollar. She can't wait to go to Target after school to get a Mad Libs book. Her best friend Zoe came over last Friday with one and she has talked non-stop about it! (I had to refresh my own memory on what a verb, adjective, pro-noun, etc. were to even play it) =)

I felt so bad for her after we left the dentist yesterday. Her whole side was pretty swollen and numb. You can't tell that well, but she could hardly give me a smile. Poor thing, it's still swollen today. Her second permanent tooth is already growing behind the baby one, but that one should fall out by itself. She has been cursed with my slow to fall out teeth. I didn't lose my two front teeth till 4th grade!! Crazy, I know.
