13

On November 23rd, Isaac celebrated turning 13 months old by getting his 13th tooth!  His first eye tooth popped in.  (His fourth molar came through sometime while I was recovering.)

Lost Teeth

After losing tooth number five last week!

Elizabeth lost tooth number five one week ago, and tooth number six today!  Mommy helped number five come out, although it was barely hanging on.  Elizabeth may or may not have given the sixth tooth a little extra encouragement to come out during lunch.  ;-)  She was thrilled, and came off the bus today wearing a big smile and a tooth necklace.  Last week she told me that she hoped to lose the next one at school so she could earn the prized necklace.  There was a close call with the Tooth Fairy a little earlier this evening involving the exchange of said necklace for coins.  We'll see what she remembers in the morning.

When I Grow Up...

One of Elizabeth's writing assignments at school was choose something she might like to be when she grows up and to give her reason.  This is what she wrote on September 28th:

When I grow up I will work in an orphanage.  Thar [there] are lots of chigrin [children] in a orphanage.  You need food, watrr [water], lots of beds and clos [clothes].  I tiech [teach] English in the orphanage.

Her teacher wrote a comment at the top:

Elizabeth, you will take very good care of the children!  Super details!

I'm proud of my baby girl!  God, please keep her heart close to You!
