Scraggly Smile, Reading Dora, and Middle Schools

DD lost her top front right tooth today. The top front left tooth is very loose and might come out in the next day or so also. Because it's loose, her smile is very irregular and it looks like there's another tooth missing on top. She also has a bottom tooth that she lost a few weeks ago and that is now growing in. DH had to exchange another dollar coin for a dollar with one of the boys. It's a good think they haven't spent any of those dollar coins or DD would be getting just plain old paper dollar bills!

This is the sight that greeted me when I got home today. DD was doing her daily reading and so was DS#3. No, he can't actually read yet, but he was talking while looking at the book just like he was reading. He was talking about how Map was telling Dora to go over the "bidge" (bridge), then the "lake", and then she would be a "Play Pock" (Play Park). His speech is getting clearer and clearer, and he can talk quite a bit sometimes, although never as much as DD. ;)

Tonight we went to the middle school that our area feeds into to hear their presentations about available electives. It's the middle school that DS#1 went to last year and it's the middle school that DS#2 insists he will go to next year. We're trying to get him to be open to going to one of the magnet middle schools that seems to be right up his alley as far as being geared toward engineering/science/math, but he really wants to be with his friends who are all going to THIS middle school. DH and I can't believe that the school already wants the fifth graders to pick out their classes but DS#2's choices are due next week.
