Lost her third tooth!

Nadia lost her third tooth at church yesterday morning! Because of three special services being held yesterday evening, the kids' choir rehearsal was moved to 10:45am. One of the women who works with the children put her tooth in a plastic bag so it could go under Nadia's pillow last night. She's had four wiggly teeth for a few weeks, and the dentist had encouraged her to wiggle that particular tooth because the permanent tooth had already broke through the gums. I had to make sure to take a picture yesterday, as I don't think there will be a gap there for long! Her other lower lateral incisor is also wiggly along with her two top central incisors. Getting permanent teeth is not the only evidence that she's growing up. In the last few weeks she's learned how to whistle (something I've never been able to do) and to go all the way across the monkey bars!

Oliver wins the prize for being the first child in our family to make the change with his body clock. He woke up at 7:00 this morning! The breathing treatment really helped him last night. His cough was sounding very bad, but he didn't cough much at all the rest of the night. Ian has always had a hard time switching his body clock. He started waking up at 3am, and we kept sending him back to his bedroom. Around 5:45am I finally let him crawl in bed with me, and he fell back asleep until 7:00. Nadia got up once in the night and also got up too early and was sent back to bed. This is very unusual for her. She still has a low grade fever, plus I think the excitement over the "tooth fairy" were the reasons she didn't sleep well. She's usually the last one to get up so I am not worried about her switching to the new time. Although I missed most of a really great football game last night, and I would have enjoyed talking with my dad on the phone while we watched the game (he's the reason I'm a Steeler fan), I know I made the right decision because I have very little energy today, and that was with going to bed at 7:50 last night. I had a feeling it would be a night full of interruptions and an early start, and it was. I probably am going to do the same tonight even though the Giants are playing tonight. I really want to have enough energy tomorrow to take the kids to the playground as it's supposed to be a pretty day (high of 65). Oliver hasn't had a fever today, but he's been really cranky so I know he's still not feeling well. This again makes me grateful I didn't stay up to watch the game because when I'm tired I don't generally have as much patience. Hopefully we'll all be healthy by Friday so we can celebrate Grandma's 70th birthday with the rest of the family!

The next time we're there we need to get a picture of all of the cousins. Nathan and Andrew were with Joe when we took it.
