Second loose tooth!

Todd's second loose tooth, which was right next to his first one, came out last night! He had parked himself in front of the bathroom mirror and started tugging at it, and next thing he knew, it came right out! So now the gap on the bottom has widened a bit.

We again put his tooth under his pillow, and evidently the tooth fairy was tired of hauling around heavy, noisy coins, because instead of 4 quarters, she left a nice, crisp $1 bill under his pillow :-)

Too Many Commercials

The little man got to enjoy watching some much-missed TV at Oma and Opa's house this past week. Poor little guy never gets to watch any here, as we don't have cable, so he made up for it during his spring break.

He always watches kid-friendly stuff, but I think he pays too much attention to those commercials.

Cases in point:

As we pulled out of Oma and Opa's driveway on Sunday afternoon, his parting words to Oma were: "You should use Crest toothpaste! It will whiten your teeth. And your teeth are... not white!"

Today, while grocery shopping, we wandered through the hygiene product aisle, and Todd made a beeline for the toothpastes. He studied the vast array of Crest brands and decided that he wanted to buy one... for Oma's birthday!

Later, at home, while Mommy was chopping vegetables for dinner, he watched for a few minutes before piping up with: "You should use Yoshi knives!" and proceeded to give his version of a description of how they worked.

Yeah... who says commercials don't work? ;-P
