2 Lost 3

(I had a reader, who shall remain nameless, who didn't understand the title of these two posts. This one was to play off of the previous title, and be a tongue holding transformation of "Two Lost Teeth". I thought I had explained it below, but apparently my reader didn't quite get it!)

Little Lion had dealt with it just about as long as a six year old could!

It hurt too much to push on, was too loose to leave alone, and worst of all, he couldn't eat corn on the cob at all!

Dental Floss, tight knot, he got it all but a little bit with his yank, then daddy Lion yanked it out the rest if the way.

The Toothe Fairy left ten dimes! He She sure is nice! He now has "too wost teef" (actually we tried to get him to say hard things but he didn't sound any different!)

Let's see that four down and 16 more to go? The Toothe Fairy might need a loan.

2 Smart 3

(I had a reader who shall remain nameless that didn't understand the title. The concept was that my three year year old was too smart. Therefore she was a "Too Smart Three year old")

Scene: Mommy Lion sitting on the couch cutting out letters, in true OCD fashion, for her 3 year old daughter's class presents. Mommy Lion is much too involved to notice anything that Little Pumpkin is doing....

Little Pumpkin: Monmy, what's this?
Mommy Lion: I don't know....
Little Pumpkin: Mommy, what's it say?
Mommy Lion: I don't know...
Little Pumpkin: What's this say right here?
Mommy Lion: I don't know....
Little Pumpkin: Sound it out mommy...

Mommy Lion stopped cutting for just long enough to laugh at/with her daughter!

The Circus - Tonight's Main Attraction

Little Lion lost his tooth Saturday night. It made it a little difficult to eat one of his favorites...corn on the cob.

He still made it through three of these ears. I got excused from the dinner table for laughing at my struggling child and shooting corn out my nose when he tried to take his bites.

Not Knot Head

And 24 hours later!


















Oh to be youthful again, resilient, and so quick to heal!

Knot Head

Little Pumpkin had a little "run in" last night with one of her buddies. Fortunately mommy lion was here so I couldn't be blamed!

It's nearly gone this morning!



She didn't want to put an ice pack on it, she was much too busy! Her friend Twinkie cried for a few minutes but had NO bumps!

I guess our Little Pumpkin isn't as hard headed as we thought!
