Loose Tooth, part 2

The tooth fairy visited Scott on Friday.  Then on Saturday, he lost another tooth, so on Sunday he woke up to another dollar. 

But he was mad.  Heidi went to talk to him and she said he felt like the tooth fairy didn't like him because he only got a dollar.  We tried to trick him into thinking that two dollars had fallen behind the bed, but he was like, "You just gave me those two dollars.  Some of my friends got five."

So that approach didn't work.  Then I tried to use some logic, since Scott responds well to that.  I said, "Some of your friends had to have their teeth removed by the dentist, and they had to get a shot.  The tooth fairy gave them a bonus.  Yours came out pretty easily, so that's why you got a dollar." 

By the time church came he was mostly over the stingy tooth fairy.  At church, he and Tyler wrestled on the floor and weren't that reverent.  Scott is old enough to sit on the bench and be reverent, or at least draw quietly.  You have to pick your poisons with your kids.  Ours are extra active, but at least while they were wrestling, they weren't screaming.  Even when Tyler is in the hall screaming, you can hear him. 

Tyler had another piano lesson this morning.  I was surprised at how much he remembered from our previous lesson and we began studying the primer level books we purchased on Saturday.  Scott has Lightly Row down and his favorite song is still Cuckoo.  French Children's Song is almost ready to be passed off.

Heidi is going through the kids' clothes so we can downsize our inventory.  When I left for work this morning, Tyler and Scott were driving their RC cars off the plastic ramps.  Good times.
