Snow tubing with Dad
Dad and Josie watched as Maia tubed down the slopes at Wirth Winter Recreation park on Saturday. The plan was for Josie to join Dad on his tube, but they ended up as spectactors since the rules only allow four year olds on tubes. Oh well. It was Josie’s first time out to watch and learn how tubing works, throw a few snowballs and enjoy an adventure with big sister and Dad.

“I still have the same voice even though my tooth fell out.”
Today after school we checked Maia’s wiggly teeth. One was dangling sideways barely hanging on so Mom helped it out. With a small pluck we pulled Maia’s first tooth. She was excited and scared all at once seeing a little blood and not knowing what to do with her tooth. Mom gave her some salt water to swish upstairs in the bathroom and as she came down the stairs she said, “I still have the same voice even though my tooth fell out.” So cute. Later after bathtime Maia carefully put her tooth in her tooth fairy pillow and put it by her pillow. Josie vowed to stay up all night to see 1) how the Tooth Fairy would fly into the room 2) how big she was. Maia decided it would be best to go right to sleep. It’s been an exciting few days with first steps and first visits from the Tooth Fairy!
Willa hearts standing
This kid is ready to run. Tonight she took my hand and walked from my bedroom half way to the bathroom holding Mom’s one hand. She’s a natural.
Maia’s wiggly bottom teeth had one more day at school with her
So Mom called the dentist at 8am hoping to get the green light to swing by after getting Josie to preschool. No such luck. “It’s quite normal” was the response from the dentist’s office about Maia’s new permanent teeth already growing in behind the wiggly baby teeth. We were told to wiggle and work on loosening them and otherwise to wait it out. The teeth move forward thus pushing out the baby teeth and clearing space for them to come in in the right place. Who knew.
