As you might have noticed from an earlier post 2 years ago, "Tonight's Dinner Conversation", my daughter is a creative thinker about what she wants to be she she grows up. So, when we were told she was supposed to dress up as what she wants to be... I was a little concerned... although I tried not to show it outwardly. M decided she wanted to be a princess. So, I had finally found a use for that extremely pink dress, with glitter, my husband had kindly brought back for her from his trip to Iraq 2 years before. I made a paper crown, with a pink, purple, pink, purple, pink, purple gem pattern, and she was very happy. I commented on her desire to be a princess, and my husband said, "Well, at least, she doesn't want to be a pig!"

Janan has officially lost his first tooth. He woke up at 3:58 am, and called me (after a late movie night with friends) into the bathroom. "Mommy come here!!" Although slightly reluctant due to the time, I arrived in the bathroom to see my son very proudly holding his first lost tooth. "I twisted it", he said. Now, although this was extremely exciting, I did think it might be nice to go back to bed. Janan, however, could not sleep anymore. He very kindly waited until the first light of dawn, around 6 am to request breakfast. We all gradually got up and admired the new hole in his smile. Around 4 pm, in the afternoon, we were wondering what had happened to him, and found out that he had fallen asleep on the toilet...
