losing a tooth and being lazy

Mitchell didn't lose any teeth until first grade so I was really shocked when Emery told me she had a loose tooth. Apparently she had been eating pretzels and she bit into one that was really hard. It knocked her tooth loose. After wiggling it around for a few hours she pulled it out by herself. She was so excited and fascinated with it that she lost it before she got it under her pillow. I hope the tooth fairy will understand.

Just a funny story....
Emery loves to read books. She loves when I read books to her. We have a series of books about manners that she loves and usually picks atleast one in her stack of books to read every night.
The other night I was sitting on the couch and she came walking over and I asked her to go in the kitchen and get something for me. She said "NO". I was a little surprised and asked why.

She reminded me about the books we have been reading and pretty much quoted this page exactly......


I heard that there are many rewards when you start reading to your kids at a young age- not really the reward I was looking for!

    oh, they are sooo smart, aren't they? That is really funny. Not for you of course, because she's figured out a way to get out of doing things for you :)

    Gotta love when they remember those things. If only they could have "selective" memories and we could decide when and how they are used.

    Sooooo funny! I can just hear Emery saying that to you. Ha! Ha! I can't believe she lost a tooth already! Wow! Our babies are getting big. I hope the tooth fairy found the tooth.
