Adventures in teeth

Julia is now another dollar richer, as she lost her third tooth last night!:





The even crazier part is that the dentist told us, at her check-up yesterday, that she has three more loose teeth. Just think of all the houses she can buy once she gets the money for those guys!

I think the girls had as much fun at the dentist as they would have had at the children's museum or someplace of that sort. The fish tank in the waiting room was like some kind of hypnotic kaleidoscope for Madeleine, who sat staring at it in ecstasy, occasionally pronouncing, "Fishies!" in delight. Julia got to pick her new toothbrush (pink, of course) as well as the flavor of paste used in her cleaning, and the best part of all was that the girls both got balloons to take home at the end of the visit. Keeping in mind that since I am on car restriction at the moment, just take a moment to imagine pushing a double stroller the mile and a half back to our house with these ginormous balloons in the girls hands:




Anyone want to guess how many times traffic along Highland Ave was at a standstill due to giant pink balloons floating around in the middle of the road?

And on a completely different topic, Madeleine and I had the following conversation this morning:

ME: My Maddie-Moo!
MADELEINE: Silence.
ME: Are you my Maddie-Moo?
MADELEINE: Silence.
ME: Who's my Maddie-Moo?
MADELEINE: Silence.
ME: What's your name?
MADELEINE: A Uncle MIKE!
