The Tooth Fairy!

G lost his first tooth, 6 years old and counting! One of my ex's friends made G a really cool certificate from the tooth fairy, very cool. And poor G promptly lost the tooth so he couldn't put it under a pillow. But it all works out in the end. Curious what the average going rate is for teeth. My ex swears that some mutual friends gave their kids $20 for the first few teeth. Yeah...not me! My ex gave $3 in change. That's not bad. My son requested a quarter. How's that for nostalgia?


As for baby Jack, his teeth are coming in. One losing, one gaining, go fig[ure]. Haven't blogged in the longest time [see Jack's Blog] but holidays and being sick. Holidays, rush, rush, buy, buy. Christmas in CA, nice but nicer to make it back to the homestead. Jan - Feb, both boys alternate being sick. And to think I complained about being a spit rag. 2008 has been the Year of Poop. Hello, rotavirus for both boys, though thankfully not at once.

Already, I want Jack to be 4. The colic is InSanity, in the worst way. Given, he doesn't scream 3 hours on end but the fussy feedings are brutal. All at night, of course.

Ulcer back, in spades. Ugh! That is my new name, Ulcer Girl. Now if I could just find the right meds, life would be grand.
