11/52 - Small Things

Now that the big news is out, everything else seems small! But small is good, too.

Anders lost another tooth! This one has been loose for a while, and... well, we'll let him tell the story.

The tooth fairy always leaves a note. (But she doesn't always leave one this creepy.)

The teeth he lost last July have been replaced, just in time.

I made a thai curry soup recently. When I poured the last of my fish sauce into a bowl, I heard a "clink" as something solid tumbled out. I fished around (pun intended) and pull out what at first appeared to be a piece of glass. But a quick lick confirmed that it was actually a salt crystal! We used the opportunity to reinforce the idea of crystals and crystal structure with Anders.

Anders is still really excited about having a sibling. He has been telling his friends and teachers, particularly in the last week. When one teacher asked him if he was excited, he responded:

Yes, I'm really excited. Because sometimes at home, I get lonely.

He has taken to giving the baby hugs and kisses, by proxy through Corinne's belly.

Thanks for all of the support and shared excitement!
