Lizzy's First Missing Tooth

Lizzy had her first tooth come out! It was loose and she wiggled it for about a day. Then she decided it hurt too much and didn't want to touch it at all. I told her that if she keeps wiggling it then it will come out. But she refused to touch it for 3 days. Finally when she was eating dinner it came out. The tooth fairy promptly came that night and left a quarter. The next day Lizzy went to her first piano lesson and took the quarter inside of a red mitten to show her teacher. Unfortunately she forgot about it and left it at the teacher's house. I called Wendy, her teacher, and Wendy couldn't find it. She eventually found it in her crayon box. Wendy offered to give her another quarter. I accepted the offer and we were going to walk over to her house. But then Lizzy started talking about how her quarter had ships on it. So I called Wendy back and said Lizzy knew her particular quarter very well and I'm afraid it would not do to switch it out. So we waited until Wendy found it later that day and she brought the mitten and quarter back. Sure enough, there were ships on the quarter and I didn't have any explaining to do. =)

Try Again

I had just finished cleaning the toilets upstairs and I was about to go clean the toilet downstairs. Jordan saw me walking with the cleaner.

Jordan: What are you doing, Mom?
Me: I'm cleaning the toilets.
(pause)
Jordan: I don't want to help you, Mom.

When I came back upstairs:

Jordan: Are you all done, Mom?
Me: Yes, I'm all done.
Jordan: Thanks, Mom.

Morgan made scrambled eggs this morning. I must say, Morgan makes very good eggs. Often he will mix in some tomatoes.

Jordan: I don't like tomatoes, Dad. You've got to try again.
