Reid has now passed a landmark moment by losing his first tooth. Let's be honest- he didn't really lose it. It was pulled out by Robin, but that's what you get when your dad is a tooth guy. He has sat by and watched Robin pull many teeth from children who show up at our front door motivated by the desire for some cash-ola from the tooth fairy, and now it was his turn. I will say though that the whole thing was Reid's idea and he didn't even flinch.
Here is his note which translates to, "I was very brave when Daddy pulled my tooth. Love, Reid." I was shocked he spelled 'tooth' correctly. I mean of course he can spell his name and 'I' is pretty straightforward, but the entire thing is mumbo jumbo phonics until you get to the end. All of this earned him a silver dollar and a gold tooth from the fairy. Oh wait... I just thought it was a silver dollar. On closer inspection it is actually four Francs which must look very similar to silver dollars to the tooth fairy in the dark. Either that, or she visited a little boy in France right before coming to our house.
At least I can rest assured that he has now changed his person on the wii from looking like this:
to this:
Huge improvement. Thank goodness they mostly play old school video games like Galaga and Donkey Kong where everything is spelled gramaticaly correct. Reid can spell Space Invaders like nobody's business.
Today our dog and our elf met each other. What I am sure started as a friendly encounter led to Zipper being carried around in Bixby's mouth while the kids chased him yelling, "Bad dog." This is where he landed.
In an effort to maintain his elfish powers the kids decided it was best to pick him up with the tongs. Personally, I feel that if touching him takes away powers then being carried around in a dog's mouth will do him in for good.
Reid's eyebrows were up in every picture. I think that means he was excited.
End of day report:
