Navigating the hilly terrain of motherhood

Grace burst into our bedroom at 6:15 this morning — wide awake and fully clothed — and holding a tooth in her hand. That's tooth #6, in case you're counting (and we certainly are—it was on the bottom right!). Grace showed it to us, held it for a while, then put it in her tooth-fairy pillow, where it will stay forever. Because the tooth fairy is NOT invited to our house. Apparently having body parts fall out of her mouth is spooky enough for Grace— there's no way she also wants some fairy rooting around in her room in the middle of the night.

    How great, I think Grace is the first kid I know who isn’t impressed by the idea of someone taking body parts in exchange for a few small coins! You go Grace.

    I know Daryl, when you think about, the tooth fairy is a really weird concept. And Grace has no problem telling people that the tooth fairy doesn’t come to our house. I love that kid – she dances to her own beat.

    Ask Hana about the tooth bunny some time! I’m such a bad mommy!
