He's an Incredible Kid

Andrew lost his second tooth 2 days ago, bottom front left.
The first night he forgot to put it under the pillow so of course the Tooth Fairy didn't come. Last night he reminded me to put the tooth under it so she would come. As i was putting it in the envelope i asked him if he wanted to see it one last time. When he was looking at it i was telling him about how that was his first tooth that came in (well one of the first 2), he was only 4 months old, and so on. Then i asked him if he would like to just forget about the tooth fairy and just keep it so that he can show his kids his first tooth and the story of when his first grew in and fell out. (ya i could just keep it and give it to him when he's older and know longer believes in the tooth fairy, but i wanted to see what his choice would be, instant gratification for a couple of dollars or a long term decision that will only come in fruitation when he has his kids) He chose the latter. I must say that's pretty incredible for a 5 yr old to make a choice like that! Later on before we went to bed i ended up giving him a toonie to put into his bank.

Easter

Andrew and I went to Kitchener for Easter. Tammy and Dad picked us up on Friday. We went to the "BIG HOUSE" as the boys call it. Tammy and Carman had a fire, Stacey and Steve came out to visit with their favorite Auntie. Then we went to Tammy's place and slept there for the night. Sat we had an Easter Egg hunt and dinner at the big house. Lots of great company and the food was delicious. The weather was very nice. Lots of little boys for Andrew to play with. He had a GREAT time. Steve bought Tammy and I beautiful flowers and the two of them made up a BEAUTIFUL basket for ALL of the kids there, there were 8 all together. It was so nice seeing family and being in Kitchener as well. I haven't been there since last summer.

After dinner and socializing Andrew and I went to my dads for the night. It felt like too short of a visit tho. Andrew was getting cranky and missing his daddy, so Sunday Tammy and Dad drove us back home. Thanks guys for the beautiful memory. I LOVE you all so much.

Now for the hunt. Andrew has been talking about this hunt for over a month now, talking to me and telling strangers everywhere we went about it. I wish i could have video taped him collecting them, i swear he was the most excited kid there.

His Nannie and Grandpa S sent him a nice card with $10 in it. He was pretty excited about that as well.
