Is the Tooth fairy real?

In short, no. But I always told Alexis that I didn't know. I told her I always had something under my pillow after I had lost a tooth, as a child, so I never really gave her a clear answer. "Yes, of course there is a Tooth fairy" or "Um, no. There is no such thing" never came out of my mouth. I always wanted her to believe what she wanted. Fairies, bunnies, and the like are fun and magical for some kids. Alexis has always been a little different when it had come to those things. When she was four we took her to Disneyland and she said she had a great time with all the people dressed up as Snow White, Mickey Mouse, The Little Mermaid, etc. She is really logical, inquisitive and the total no nonsense type.

Alexis had lost her top tooth yesterday, she was excited (it's her 3rd tooth she has lost). Alexis is the type that waits for things, she wiggled her tooth but never, in a million-trillion years, would she pull it out. Even though all she needed was a twist or a teensy pull for over a week. It looked silly all last week because it was half way out and it looked like she had a snaggle tooth. I'm not going to lie, I laughed at her expense several times. She asked me if the tooth fairy was real. I told her to Google it. That is always my answer when I don't feel like explaining things. Here is a video, DO NOT LET YOUR SMALLER CHILDREN SEE THIS. I would hate to ruin whatever it is your children believe in. Sorry for the crappy quality, it's cloudy and rainy outside and I have no lights on because my daughter is a environmental nazi, she goes on and on about greenhouse gasses and its really boring. I swear, I have the weirdest 6 year old ever.





P.S. I think I fessed up about the Easter Bunny when she was four, we went the God route instead.

Kids are creative and weird.

Trenton spent a good hour or so describing to me what his TV stand should look like. Apparently the temporary one did not meet his three year old standards. After a long, and repetitive, description... I have gathered that he is interested in a short but taller, blackish or maybe orange, with baseball pictures, Mickey Mouse stickered, with lots of pictures of Kayleigh and Baby Stever (the BFF's youngest 2 children), french fry dispensing, shelfy thing to put toys on and hide stuff from Jessa with a built in refrigerator to store popstickles (popsicles) in. After talking about this for what seemed and eternity he insisted I take the table out of his room that his TV was on. Now he sits on his floor awaiting this revolutionary TV stand he dreamed up.


Alexis spent all morning in her room making this "sling." She reminds me of a sugar glider, I can't help but giggle when I see her in it, and she has spent almost all day swinging in it. I think it's awesome that she calls it a sling instead of a hammock because I wear Jessa in a sling all the time.

In other news, Jessa has a new love for the air conditioning vents and the air blowing through them. I was attempting to make a video f her going out the doggy door but she was distracted by the air blowing up at her through the floor.

So, I've decided to conduct a social experiment of sorts on Twitter. I tweeted something about killing my dog because he had misbehaved and I lose 26 followers. Today I said something about stuffing a baby in the oven and lost 11 followers in a few short minutes. New favorite game, I think so. New favorite hashtag is #socialexperiment. What do you suppose I shoud say next?
