The Tooth Fairy

After the Christmas vacation, on Lia's first day back to school, she lost her first tooth. She came into my classroom to let me know.  After school, she said that she had the most awesome day!  (What kid says that on their first day back from vacation?!)  The toothfairy left a sparkly dollar bill under her pillow.   Lia has it in her collection of very important things.

Then yesterday, on the 100th day of school, Lia lost her 2nd tooth!  I happened to be going into the hallway, and on my prep time.  Lia came running up to me, so excited.  So I followed Lia and her wonderful Kindergarten teacher, Sarah, right into the nurses office, with my iPhone of course.

Check out the tooth chart behind Sarah and Lia, and Lia's 100th day crown.  We were cracking up that  Lia made it on the tooth chart again!!

Here's Lia, excited to go asleep!  We found a pretty drawstring bag to put the baby tooth in, 

but she quickly realized that she wanted to keep the bag.

So she wrote a letter to the tooth fairy, asking if she could leave it.  I love all the hearts and the purple writing.  Lia woke up early today to let me know that the bag had a dollar bill in it and a pretty little heart.

And here is our local tooth fairy, quite exhausted.  We just saw her a few days ago at the Adam's Lawn and Garden Show (but of course she would be exhausted, she's collecting kids' teeth all night long).  As the tooth fairy slept, Lia was mesmerized. 

Rosie now is telling us her tooth is loose...

Happy Birthday Rosie!

Today was Rosie's birthday.  This morning, she let me know that now that she turned 5, she would be going to Kindergarten, and would be going to my school.  She just is so anxious to be going to Kindergarten and be with Lia and I.

When we asked her what she wanted to do for her birthday dinner, she said she wanted to eat out at the "animal restaurant" (none other than the infamous Bugaboo Creek, you know, the restaurant where you have to kiss the moose). We went there last year, and she remembered!

The girls wore their matching Frozen dresses, with Happy Birthday hats and necklaces (from my cousin Linda's birthday party).  When it came time for the cake, two cakes came out, and the staff lit 2 candles! It was hysterical! We had no idea that was going to happen.  Since Rosie adores Lia, she got the biggest kick out of it.  She certainly didn't mind sharing the spotlight with her best buddy Lia.

 

Keith with Rosie on her big day!

Rosie got a birthday phone call from her Auntie Barbara.  Rosie was hysterical...I wonder what Barb was saying!!!!  Rosie asked her to "do it again!".

The birthday cake was delicious and Lia got one just like it! We thought the waiter was just being kind to Lia, until we got the bill...

 What a memorable Birthday! (Don't tell anybody, but I've always secretly wanted twins).  I just love my girls!!!!!! Keith too.  He is such a proud papa here.

When we came home, Rosie finished opening her birthday presents.  The hit of the night were the Hello Kitty walkie talkies.  They were running into closets and remote parts of the house, saying "I love you".   Somehow, they did settle down and they fell asleep quickly! What a happy day "with a room without a roof..."!!!!!!
