Eleanor lost her second tooth just today, and she packed it away in her “Molar Bear” stuffed friend to await the tooth fairy. She lost it while jiggling it with her fingers on the couch just before dinner.
This week everyone enjoyed just being home after a lot of recent travels. Henry got back into the school routine and Eleanor had some fun days at home with Mom. There was lots of time for parks, and a fun visit to the zoo. They had lots of face painters at the zoo, so both kids got one done. Eleanor choose a monkey, of course, and Henry asked for a giraffe but the artist didn’t know how to do that one, so he settled for a monkey as well, only he wanted it red with a red banana. On Saturday, we discovered a couple of squirt guns in the garage and the kids had a blast shooting the walls, flowers and their own pants. I think it might be the first time they have played with squirt guns.
