What's New With The Carter Family

Two days later, Jem lost his SECOND tooth.....on the bottom, right next to the first one :) It was wiggly and wobbly, and with enough tongue pushing it came right out! Another visit from the tooth fairy might have been the motivation to rush getting this one out haha!!

His very first tooth...........loose for months now..............is FINALLY OUT!!! It happened only a few minutes ago :) and yes, already I'm blogging about it haha!!! He's been waiting for this for sooooo long.....whooo hoooo!!!!! His tooth is in a baggie under his bed, awaiting inspection from the tooth fairy; and attached is a note asking if we could please keep the tooth since "mom" wants to scrapbook it haha!!!! I wonder what the going rate for a fairy visit is these days.....

This is a sight I often see, on weekends only of course (since we have a "no video games during the school week" policy!). It's a very Jem moment in time....glued to his Mario & Luigi game on his Nintendo DS (as he wears his Mario Bros. t-shirt). He is a little boy, obsessed with Mario :) He talks about him, pretends to be him, and even dreams of him. I know this stage won't last forever....but for now, I'm glad he's found something to pour his passion and imagination into. Even if it is a video game character :)
