Two Big Kids

Gem is really turning into a big kid. A couple days ago she lost her first tooth. She even let daddy pull it out with string, even after a few unsuccessful attempts. She wanted to keep her tooth, but we told her she had to give it to the tooth fairy. So the next morning she walks into my room and says "Mom, the tooth fairy didn't bring me a toy, she just brought me a dollar". She was not too pleased about that. Recently we have changed her jobs reward system. She used to get a small prize at the end of the week if she had finished her jobs everyday, now she gets two dollars if she finishes all her jobs. Let's just say that she isn't too fond of dollars. She has gotten one toy from the store with her dollars, hopefully she will find out that it is fun to purchase things with her own money.

Levi still finds some way everyday to do something mischievous, despite the fact that our house is in complete lock down mode. The other day he went into the bathroom and opened the hair goo, and put some in his hair, which I guess is fine, but he also put a lot on his clothing, his hands, and the bathroom.
