Jack lost 2 more teeth! He lost one of his top front teeth way back in August. It totally wasn't ready to come out. It became loose after biting down on a sucker. Then after a few weeks of wiggling, it was fairly loose. It wasn't until he bit me and I yanked my hand away that the tooth actually came out. 
So, last week when Jack was talking to me I noticed that his two bottom front teeth were totally out of line with the others. They were so loose, they were about ready to jump out! Who knew! Sunday, we made such a big deal about the Tooth Fairy coming and what a big deal it would be to have two teeth out. We wiggled, twisted, pushed, and pulled. Finally, he pulled one out. After talking up the whole big event of losing 2 teeth in one night, he was determined to get the other out. He let Zac yank that one while they were wrestling. He didn't even have a clue it was out. We had to show him the proof and make him look in the mirror before he would truly believe it.
Needless to say, the Tooth Fairy came through. He/she brought $1.00 AND a Batman action figure. Of course there is a story behind this. I mean, since did the Tooth Fairy start bringing so much loot?
All Jack wanted from Santa was a Batman action figure. I had gotten one during Olivia's hospital stay and threw it in Zac's car. Somewhere between here, there, and everywhere, we lost it. No Batman for Christmas. Then we heard him wishing on a star and all he wished for was a Batman action figure. We finally found the thing in a closet under some sweatshirts. So, the Tooth Fairy was very generous this time. We made certain that Jack knows it is ONLY because it is so rare to lose two teeth in one night.
It will be interesting to see how many he pulls out next time!
I missed an unbelievable photo opportunity with Brooklyn earlier in the week. We were downstairs playing store and she was wandering around in her underwear, as she usually does. None of our kids are much for clothes. Anyway, she was carrying around wads of cash and said she needed a purse or something since she didn't have any pockets. Suddenly, a light bulb went on! "I know, mommy!" She then proceeded to stuff fake money in her underwear. There had to have been about 20 bills hanging out of her Barbie underwear! By the time I got the camera, she had gotten rid of the dough. Apparently I had embarrased her. Probably not a bad thing to instill at this young of an age, right?
Olivia has a cold. Normally, one wouldn't care. With her it could go either way. So, I've implemented my own Home Health Plan and it seems to be working. I've increased her oxygen, put humidifiers throughout the house, started giving nebulizer treatments, and have been doing some light suctioning of the nose. All in all, she's holding her own. We go to the pediatrician's office tomorrow to get her Synagis shot (you, know the one that was supposed to prevent the RSV she had last month). As long as this stays out of her lungs, we should be good.
Anyway, I promised the big kids we'd play a game of UNO, a new favorite in our house. Olivia loves it, too, so we'll have to get the cards away from her or play on an elevated surface! Until next time...
PS - Jack has informed me that tomorrow is the real pajama day - even Mrs. Nudd talked about it today.

Max loves Batman as well. In fact, he's obsessed. He wants to be Batman when he grows up and when he jumps, he presses this imaginary button on his wrist. It's so good to see you guys at home and back to "normal". We pray that Olivia's appointment goes well. We all love your blog. The kids love to look at the pictures and Max says that he wants to hold Olivia. Very cute! Take care!
I love the new background!!! Isn't it fun to update your blog with cute stuff??!! It's what I do now instead of scrapbooking!
Keep us posted on Olivia. Sounds like you're being super proactive about her cold. Hopefully it will clear up on it's own.
We have a friend who's tooth fairy leaves $10, which this mommy found to be a little discouraging. Thankfully Christian isn't old enough to really care yet, despite the fact that he has lost a tooth. I think a dollar sounds just about right and it sounds like the batman figure was needed!! I'm sure Jack was thrilled!
Love the new background. I tried the cookies again today & what do you know? When you add the correct amount of butter, they don't run all over the pan! I'm going to have to try accurately reading a recipe more often!
