First Mani Pedi

Lucia said she wanted some girl time a few weeks ago, so off we went for our first mani pedis. She was BEYOND cute and big-girl about it. She really got into the whole pampering thing. She's also having her first cup of hot tea here. So cute. :)

Tooth Fairy

It's possible we forgot to do tooth fairy duties this week. Whoops. Thankfully, Lucia miscounted her "moneys" and thought the tooth fairy brought her one piece. Rather than scramble in there and try to pretend she just hadn't looked carefully enough, I asked her to write a note to the tooth fairy asking what's up. 

Translation: Dear Tooth Fairy, I think you forgot to bring me some money last night. Here is my tooth I love you, Lucia. 

She also added a PS on the back to please don't take her tooth. 

Here's what the tooth fairy brought back! Look at all the moneys!!! 

She was very thoughtful this morning, and asked, why would the tooth fairy want me to brush and floss? Doesn't she want my teeth to fall out? Good point, I said. But the tooth fairy wants you to develop healthy habits. We've talked a lot about teeth brushing; for a long time when we told her if she didn't brush her teeth they would fall out, she was like YES, EXACTLY because she saw her other classmates at school losing teeth and that's what she wanted. She's clever. 

Weirdly sick, likely nerves

Lucia spiked a fever overnight on Monday, the day after she started her fancy day camp. I wonder if I talked about it too much and she got nervous. Yipes. Her fever was 101 and she slept tons, but was back in action yesterday morning. Phew. Also, in this picture she is so clearly mini-Pete. 

Morning Goofball

Hard not to smile when this is my morning companion.
