The tooth fairy

By -


It's funny how the new tooth is twice the size of the space. Braces here we come. 

Isn't funny, us mothers, we get excited when our babies get their first tooth.
Then it's our children that get excited when they lose their first tooth. 
We get sad because we know that braces are right around the corner. 
This experience happened for Phoenix last night. We were eating waffles for dinner. He had just shoved a huge piece in his mouth. We heard a crunching sound. (I thought, I bet that is his tooth, he just ate it. ) Mike said "Phoenix what is that sound? " Phoenix shrugged his shoulders. Mike asked Phoenix to open his mouth, he smiled. There was a hole but no tooth. We told him that he probably ate it. He started crying(real tears) about how he has waited for weeks for the tooth to come out. He got scared that the tooth fairy was not going to come to him. 
The letter says, I eat my tooth. I am sorry I ate my tooth last night. I brush all day. -Phoenix.
We said he should write a letter saying what happened.
A good story to tell.
 It has a happy ending. 
Since you can't just summon the tooth fairy without teeth, Phoenix is in luck, Jersey had two teeth pulled today at the dentist. Under her pillow tonight will be a box with two teeth and a note.
 Let's see how much money she leaves?

Oh, too bad Phoenix ate his tooth. I'm sure the tooth fairy will understand. While munching on some hotdogs, my son accidentally ate his tooth. But his letter worked, and the tooth fairy traded her dollar for his tooth.

My Parenting Skills take-away

Self-care- Marion G. Romney said, "without self-reliance one cannot exercise these innate desires to serve. How can we give if there is nothing there? Food for the hungry can't come from empty shelves. Money to assist the needy can't come from an empty purse. Support and understanding can't come from the emotionally starved. Teaching can't come from the unlearned. And most important of all spiritual guidance cannot come from the spiritually weak.  This time in my parenting class I have learned that I need to take more time for the self-care of mom! This is a scary time in the world and if I'm not stocked in faith, hope and courage, how to I expect my children to feel or know where to turn if I don't teach them? I have thought over the many weeks what types of activities am I showing them by my example of filling my oil lamp to be spiritually fed? I have tried to spend more time on my knees praying for strength to get through school, to help my children m...

Running Log #15 This new year I thought I would be better at staying off the soda, chocolate and candy. I had dreams of working out everyday, suffering through the tiredness from waking up in the morning, and endure the cold, the bitter COLD, to get up and run outside. Funny thing about dreams they don't always happen. My dreams were shattered in the middle of the month when the weather turned bitter. And the candy, coke and chocolate were too good to resist. I wanted to change that habit this morning. I went for a run. I was hoping to go longer than a mile or two. And I ended up going FOUR MILES!!!! Along those 4 miles, I felt the pain of not running after three weeks. The cold air burned my lungs and my feet were like ice blocks, screaming at me to stop. I didn't give up, yes I walked a bit but I wasn't upset that I did. I was moving more than I had before. Finally when I was all done I looked at my watch, 4 miles, 58min. Hard, yes! Worth it? TOTALLY! Maybe this new fou...

Being sick wastes my weekend

I don't like being sick. I get sick all the time. Some one gets the slightest cold around me and then I am sick for weeks. I don't understand it. I keep a clean house. There is no mildew, or gross whatever lurking around in my house. I wipe down counters, clean bathrooms.  Sometimes I'm to much of clean freak. I think it's because I don't like being sick.  There were a few people at work that had been sick and now their sickness is on me. Last week, it was a cough that hurt so much that, I may or may not wet my pants. But in all seriousness. I thought that taking out my tonsils would solve my life problem with getting sick. I got a flu shot this year too.  The other thing about being sick that I hate is that I'm home sick and all I can think about is how dirty my house is and that I need to clean it. Laundry needs to be folded, floors swept and mopped. bathrooms too.  AAHHHH!!!! (cough, cough) Also I am not a huge fan of cough syrup...
