Off to Work!

Today is "Take Your Kid to Work" day at T's office. Both kids are attending today, and both are very excited!

This is C's first year to attend. I told him last night, half joking, that he would need to wear office clothes. He said, "But I not have any office cwoes." I showed him the outfit in his closet that has been waiting for such an occasion as this. I thought he would laugh and say "No." But instead he said, "Cool!"

So we laid out his slacks, dress shirt, and neck tie. There was also a very handsome vest, but this morning he said, "Only Peppa Pig daddy wear dat."

Then C was up early this morning begging to get dressed for work. Cute that he was so excited. Not cute that it was 5:30. He let me tuck in his shirt and he ate his Cheerios more carefully than I have ever seen him eat.

And so they are off to work to learn about power, water, and telecommunications. No doubt there will be many stories to tell this evening.

(Funny note: I just did spell check on this and apparently "cwoes" is a word! )

Oak Elfwand

This morning D lost her 3rd tooth. It's been wiggly for some time, and today was the day. She has been skeptical for the last few months about the tooth fairy. She told me that she and one of her friends don't believe anymore, until I told her that you only get money under your pillow if you believe. Then she decided she still "believed a little bit."

The first 2 times that D lost teeth she wrote letters to the tooth fairy. It seems we cannot lose a tooth without some written correspondance. Tonight there were a series of questions or a "Questions Quis" as D wrote on her card.

So I dug up some answers from various tooth fairy websites, including The Fairy Name Generator . D's fairy's name is Oak Elfwand. You should check yours out too! Mine is named Hazel Goblinwand. :)

In searching I also found icaughtthetoothfairy.com . For $9.99 I upload a photo of D sleeping, add a fairy chosen from a wide selection, and print! Voila! A few more months of having a believer! I also had to type up and print a teeny-tiny letter with all of the "Quis" answers.

I finished this evening's project and was so pleased with the result. Then I almost forgot to leave the cash!

Mission accomplished. Too bad nothing else got done tonight!
