7 Quick Takes Friday: Lost Tooth Edition

--- 1 ---

So... We started this morning with some drama.  I'd gone into the kitchen to get the morning started in the breakfast department.  I was boiling tea and had decided to try to make peppermint tea jello and suddenly there was a frightened looking five year old staring at me.  Then she reached up and pulled a tooth out of her mouth and handed it to me.

After much coaxing, because she's not opening her mouth to speak at the moment, I found out that she was so excited to be watching My Little Ponies that she had run into the TV... and knocked her tooth out... which means she also has quite the fat lip and a bruise under her eye...  what a way to start the morning!

In other news I did call the case worker yesterday (morning) and I haven't heard anything back yet.  And waiting hasn't killed me yet so... that's something.

It's become apparent since I started writing this, that Sadie believes that she can't talk without her tooth... making this the quietest morning I've had in at least a couple years.

Boomer ate his first food two days ago and it was (drum roll please)... Turnips!

I'd made mashed garlic onion turnips for dinner and it was the first food that he was presented with that he didn't think was completely disgusting.  He ate all of a teaspoon I'd guess, but it was actual food going into his mouth that he was interested in and that he seemed to be enjoying!

In other surprising news I realized that I actually like turnips!  I'm not sure I'd ever had them before I made them the other day, but they were actually very tasty!

Since Quick Take 3 she's realized that she can talk.  Quiet time is over.

After the tooth came out I promised Sadie a) cash for her tooth b) a lunch outing and c) that she can wear a princess dress out of the house today.

Because she looked that sad sitting on the couch without that tooth...  the story of me losing my first tooth while my sister was holding me upside down by my ankles almost made her smile.  Almost.

I have hopefully solved my camera problem.  I found a refurbished "tough" camera on ebay that claims to be water proof, ice proof, shock proof, drop proof and smash proof.

We shall see.  We shall see...
