Maren lost her first tooth!

She wrote a note to the Tooth Fairy asking to keep her tooth and I assured her that would work just fine. As she was heading to bed, she mentioned she wished the Tooth Fairy could give her Euros for her tooth. I wasn't expecting that one! I brought a little blue tooth box from home for her to use for her tooth assuming the big day would come while we were here, so we stowed the tooth, put the little box into one of our specially delivered snack ziplocs from my mom, and attached it all to the note. What a nice little package for the Tooth Fairy! There's no Turkish Tooth Fairy equivalent, so we're hoping the same magic that brought Santa will work for the Tooth Fairy, too.





Lacey had a ball with the fresh stock of dress-up clothes at the preschool and couldn't quite choose...so she wore them all. The students decided to help her and kept bringing her more and more...it was pretty silly. And every day at "Big Room" time (free play in the big room, what else?!), Bugra, one of the kindergarten students, puts on the Mr. Incredible suit and lifts up the toy kitchens, doll cribs, all the big plastic toys and is super-strong. What a cutie!
