...that my child is dumb.

He lost his first tooth yesterday. We did the requisite thing with the tooth under the pillow, and he woke up this morning with an extra dollar to his name. So the Hubby asked him if he put his tooth under his pillow, and Da Boy said, "It turned into a dollar, and now I need to get another tooth failure so I can get another money so I can buy Thomas."

So, we've had to explain to him that the teeth need to fall out on their own, because the Tooth Fairy is on a schedule and won't leave him money for teeth he just yanks or knocks out of his head. No, Boy. Lost teeth are not a cash cow for you.




In other news, my dog cleans up purty, my back is slightly better today, and the cord for my laptop fan is doing bad things. As it is cheaper to buy an entire new (and better) fan than it is to just replace the cord (if I could find one anywhere else anyway; the manufacturer's is $10--BEFORE factoring in shipping), I'll be bidding on sniping one on eBay later tonight. Gyah. I love spending money on stuff I didn't plan on...

Also, the Muses have not only left the building, they may have left the planet. If anyone sees them, could you collar them and send them my way? I have fic due in a couple of weeks.

Your son is just lovely. I love the idea of a 'tooth failure' as well.

Too much cuteness!! He's a beautiful boy. And his teeth are nicely spaced, no braces for him. :) I notice things like that because my niece has gorgeous perfect baby teeth and we all know that means trouble for adult teeth. Ahhh orthedentia. :) and also, smart munchkin! No doubt knowing his momma. ;)

Tooth failure. He sounds like he's gearing up to work for NASA. Or he slurred the 'r' in 'truth', and he's planning to work for Michael Moore...

He goes to work for that hack Moore, and I'll disown him...

NASA would be cool though.

What a cutiepie!
I love the sprinkle of freckles across his nose.

Hello! My name is Peter. I found your livejournal through a post you'd probably rather forget, in which ginmar comes and abuses you horribly, and you react very admirably. That in itself wouldn't be enough for me to friend you, but I decided on a crazy whim to come and check out your recent entries, and was amazed and delighted to find that you update
a) Regularly
b) With cute kid photos! I am a fan of these.
c) With well-written updates!

Originally I was just going to drop you a line about how I admired your response, but now I plan to read your livejournal on a regular basis, if that's okay with you!

If not, I shall stop out of politeness.

So this is my "hello!" comment. It's written after 20 consecutive hours of being awake, so pardon if it seems a bit manic.

Hello, and welcome! In the interests of full disclosure, I don't normally post pix of Da Boy, but events have conspired this week to make it nearly mandatory. LOL Also, I whine a lot about writing frustrations here, just so you're warned. My Muses are recalcitrant and fickle creatures...

Your son is absolutely adorable.

It's a good thing you covered your bases on the whole tooth buyback program, otherwise I see a gum-my son in your future!

I checked on the Mooses for you--they're migrating your way to help with the fics.

Way too smart for his own good. Tooth failure! I love it.
