Amelia's New Trick and the Tooth Fairy Loot.

Amelia has a new trick that she does several times a day now. It starts out innocently enough. Amelia is playing on the floor, underneath her mobile or near some toys.

Then she pivots on to her side to reach a toy or get a better look at something.

It used to stop there, but now Amelia takes it one step further. Before she knows it, her top leg has gone over and she is stranded.

Stuck on her belly. She is pretty good-natured about it for a while.

But it isn't too long before she gets tired of staring at the floor and starts screaming to be rescued!

She has turned back over once or twice, so I am sure she will get better at this roley-poly business.

In other recent happenings, last night Ephraim fell face-first into the pavement. So now he has a scraped up nose and upper lip to go with his skinned knees and feet!

The boys must have spent at least a half-hour laughing about Ephraim's "mustache band-aid"! I have to admit, it did look pretty funny.

Last night the tooth fairy paid a visit to our house after Jacob lost his tooth. (Did you know the tooth fairy stays up WAY too late when her honey is away?). We wrote the tooth fairy a little note and then used it to make an envelope to put the tooth in. Then Jacob put it in his pillow and went to bed.

In the morning they couldn't believe all the loot the tooth fairy left!

She left him an itty-bitty note, a pack of gum, and two whole dollars! A gold one and a paper one. I told him that it must be because it was his first tooth because normally the tooth fairly only leaves one dollar. (I love making up the rules).

The tooth fairy also left Ephraim something in his pillow. He did not get any money because he did not leave a tooth, but he did get a pack of dental floss. I am so glad the tooth fairy brought Ephraim something because he was SO excited! He carried the dental floss around all day and had me write his name on it. He even took the floss to bed. How cute is that?

Hooray for the Tooth Fairy!
