I am feeling much better today! Yet, I am sad for Riley! You see, I slept all day and went to bed at 8:00 last night. Not being able to spend time with the boys yesterday, I ran upstairs to wake Riley up (he likes to be the first one ready EVERY morning) and get my huge good morning hugs he generously hands out every morning. I rubbed his head, he was still asleep, he opened his eyes, looked straight up to me happy as could be...."I lost my tooth last night"
"What? What tooth?" (I didn't know he had one that close to coming out...I think he played with it for a while trying to knock it out!)
"This one" he says as he shows me his snaggled tooth mouth!
"Oh my, where is it?"
"Ummm"....he lifts up his pillow, "It's still here he says with a sad voice.
"Oh baby, I am sure you lost it late last night after the tooth fairy already had her list of children."
"No, it was only 9:00" he proceeds, "last time it was 9:45", still looking sad.
"You know what baby, I bet last night was a very busy night for her, lots of teeth being lost."
"Like a trillion kids."
"I bet a trillion, but I bet you are first on her list tonight!"
"I bet I am too."
I am very optimistic that the tooth fairy will fulfill her duties tonight. I don't think I could handle another morning of unexpected disappointment!

Awwww.... So sweet April. Yesterday at the dinner table Makena handed me something that looked like a tooth. My first thought was that it was a tooth and how on earth did it fall out. Then it hit me. It was a kernel of corn. Pfew!
