One week of school down, only 35 to go! Larissa is still bouncing down the stairs five minutes after her alarm goes off, excited to start the school day. Will is still stretching the morning minutes as far as he can! Neither has had any real homework other than reading. I suspect that might change this week!
Larissa starts cheerleading practice tomorrow night and Will starts baseball on Wednesday. Larissa has been practicing her “cheers” in the kids’ den. She has written up a few cheers and is making up moves for them.
This afternoon we drove up and checked out the place where we’re going to go camping. YES, we have a date for our first trip! Camping isn’t just jumping in the car with your pillow and flashlight. There are so many things to buy and prepare for. We have grills, coolers, sheets, towels, flashlights, bug spray, fishing poles, chairs, bikes …. I’ve started a whole list!
Larissa lost a tooth today. Her first in about 1.5 years. It has been loose for some time now. Will started a conversation about the tooth fairy and how she used to give more money than she used to. He was trying to figure up how many millions he could make if only you could loose and re-grow your permanent teeth. Tonight as I was tucking Larissa into bed, we had a private conversation where Larissa told me she “really knows” there is no tooth fairy. She asked me if I took the teeth and if I sold them. SOLD THEM??? She thinks I sell them to make false teeth with. I told her that I absolutely did not want her tooth and no way did I sell them. The tooth is tucked under her pillow and as I left the room she asked me how much $$ I thought the tooth fairy would leave her. I guess we’ll both find out in the morning. J
Larissa had a friend over Friday after school. Gabriella and Larissa became friends last year at school and then they did some things over the summer. Both girls are sad they didn’t get into the same class so I wanted to make sure they get a play date in every once in a while. This was the first time she has come over. I hope she had fun. I’m not sure who had the most fun between Larissa and Will. I do believe my Will is quite smitten over Gabi! While she was here, Alan took Will with him in the truck to go get a pizza. He practically had to force Will to go with him, but we were trying to give Larissa and Gabi some time alone. When they came home, Alan said he had not even gotten the truck into park before Will jumped out and ran into the house. Alan had to shut the truck door and get inside the house with the pizzas by himself. Will was already right by Gabi’s side. He has already asked when she is coming back!
Good night, God bless,
Lysa
