Entrance into Boyhood

So this little seven year old is already well into boyhood, but he did take another step further in this week.  He's been wiggling this tooth for over a month now, and he finally let me pull it out.  It was his first one, but the little one next to it is getting pretty wiggly as well. 

I thought this big ole tooth holder would make it easier for the tooth fairy to find his tooth, especially since he sleeps on the top bunk.  He did leave a note with it asking to keep his tooth, and the Tooth Fairy thought that would be okay.

And he did get a few extra dollars along with his gold dollar since the Tooth Fairy forgot about his tooth for three nights. Poor kid! I think Christopher told him she'd come eventually...he's had to wait a while before as well.

On another note, Leah has been a wonderful helper with Anna lately and insists on holding her bottle for her when I feed her in Leah's view.  Yes, her bottle.  Unfortunately, nursing hasn't been going so well and I've had to start supplementing with formula.  I hate it, but don't want to see Anna's weight go down even more like Leah's did for so long while I exclusively nursed her.  She's gaining well again now though, so that's what matters.

Leah wants Anna to finish every drop in that bottle, but once Anna's done, she's done.  Trying to convince Leah of that before she makes Anna cry from stuffing the bottle back in her mouth is tricky sometimes.

But she'll finally give up and give her something else to play with.  She's such a sweet sister.  Although sometimes, she thinks that the toys Anna plays with are only hers and so we are trying to teach her about sharing.  Fun stuff!

And I will leave you with this adorable little one.  Oh how I love this little girl!
