Tooth Fairy

Pete was disappointed in the measly $1 the tooth fairy left her until she found the toothbrush holder/teeth-brushing timer the fairy also left. Old TF might have to leave a little more next time. Uncle Big Brother said their TF leaves $5 per tooth! Hopefully Pete and Kiki won't compare notes next time they see each other...

Death-Ray Robots from Outer Space

Tonight Pete is having her first sleepover here. She's slept over at someone else's house and had a "sleepover" with her cousin at The Grandpa's house, but we've never had a friend stay here all night. Um...

This particular friend, Ginger, is someone Pete frequently clashes with. For some reason they are very competitive with each other. Pete has a tendency to be mean when she's annoyed, which obviously hurts Ginger's feelings. And Ginger is prone to tattling on Pete, which can also be hard to deal with. So we've talked to Pete about being nice to her friend, and if Ginger feels the need to tattle, we're going to be sure we have the whole story and help the girls deal with it themselves. And we're not going to play board games. That's a good game plan, right? Plus, kids are always different when their parents aren't around.

I do want Ginger to have a good time, for sure, and also I want to get some sleep...

Wish me luck!

LL Says:

Lulu says "car." In homage to her Uncle Big Brother and cousin Kiki, it sounds like "cah." If you're waiting at an intersection or driving down a road and are wondering what those things are that keep moving past you, it's helpful to have Lulu with you because she'll let you know. She says, "Cah... Cah... Cah... Cah... Cah... Cah... Cah... Cah..." one time for each car she sees.

Lulu also says "cool." If we comment that something is cool, LL repeats after us, "Coooo."
