Tooth Fairy

Tatum lost her first tooth!! If you recall on Halloween night she bit a toy and kinda forced the tooth to get loose. Well, that thing hung on until last night when Jarrek pulled it. She was so excited. I had to sew a make-shit tooth fairy pillow for the tooth and the money that was going to be deposited. This morning she came running into our room with money ($5) and tooth in hand...the Tooth Fairy lets you keep your first tooth. Keaton keeps checking his teeth to see if there any that are loose.

When does school start?!?!?!? Two days right? The kids are driving each other and us crazy. It seems they have reverted to 2 or 3 year olds. Every sentence is uttered with a nasal whine, hitting has become the answer to almost any question, toys have become projectiles and bed time has turned into a debate contest. Weston doesn't really know what to do...he gets overwhelmed with them very quickly and screeches for someone to save him.

Weston has decided that sitting is no fun. He would much rather stand and tries to stand up by pulling up on anything. He also has started trying to stand where ever he is...the middle of the floor, sitting in your lap, anywhere. He has also figured out how to sit up from lying down. So, he will sit up in his sleep and then fall back asleep. Several times we have gone into check on him or to get him up and he has been sitting up with is forehead resting on his mattress between his legs.
Weston also like to jump so we got him a free standing jumper (no good place for a Johnny Jump up). Today he was super tired but didn't want to take a nap. Jarrek put him in his jumper and he went crazy, jumping like a maniac. Then it got quiet and we noticed that he had fallen asleep, but not for long. He would wake up for a brief moment, jump a few good jumps then fall back asleep...then he would repeat. It was very amusing and of course I have it on video.
