I must say that you are a trooper with the supplementation ritual that we have you on. I got you and brother to take fish oil without complaint by following it with a spoonful of Hershey's Syrup. I'm sure the high frutose corn syrup isn't the best thing for your system, but it allows me to lure you into thinking that you want to take the fish oil.
You have been taking gymnastics classes, something that you are really into. They spend as much time chasing you back from the other side of the gym as they do teaching you how to tumble. I'll be glad when we get your focus a little stronger so that you can focus long enough to really learn something in your class, but one thing is for sure, all of that heavy work we do with you really pays off. You are strong as an ox. You are good at bouncing too. It makes me want a trampoline in the backyard, but I know if we had one here, you'd be over it pretty quickly.
You've lost your first tooth. It got really loose, really quick. That's because you were obsessed with it. We offered to tie a string to the tooth, tie the other end to the cat and then let your brother loose, but you didn't want to take us up on it.
Actually, you pulled it out yourself. You walked over to me and said, "Look Mommy it's really lose, and flipped it over backwards with your tongue". I knew that we should go ahead and pull it, but knew you'd be freaked out and I didn't like the idea of holding you down to pull your tooth. As I was debating on how your Dad and I were going sell you the idea that it would be fun and painless to remove part of your body, you got a look of intense concentration as you twisted the loose tooth. And then it was in between your fingers which is something you barely even noticed since you were suddenly enthralled by the hole it made in the row of your bottom teeth.
Congratulations! You are really a big kid now.
I love you,
I love you,
Mama
