Anna Claire lost her first canine tooth today (left side). I was pleased because according to the orthodontist, hopefully that will allow her front four teeth to have room to spread out until she gets older and is ready for braces. Yay!
The funny part about the story is that the Tooth Fairy (i.e., Mom and Dad) forgot to leave money, but Anna Claire told me that she knew it was me, but she wanted to keep believing because it was fun and she wanted money. So, I sat her tooth on the counter, because she knew already that it was me, so no big deal, right? Wrong. Juliana saw the tooth and said, "The Tooth Fairy left Anna Claire's tooth!" I made an excuse that she must have accidentally dropped it, and the little stinker said, "I am going to put it under my pillow so I can get some money!!!" I said, "Juliana - are you going to try to TRICK the Tooth Fairy?" "She was like, "Yeah! I'm going to see if she knows and gives me money!" Rotten girl!

8-12-18
Last Wednesday night we had a back-to-school fun event for the kiddos with pizza, bouncy houses, etc. There were several bouncy houses to choose from, but one was square and kind of resembled a closed in wrestling ring. So, of course, that's what my Anna Claire used it for. She was SO PROUD when Mrs. April saw her - Mrs. April said, "Anna Claire are you having a good time?" Anna Claire replied, "Yeah, I'm BEATING UP BOYS!!!!!"
Then she wanted April to come watch her, and sure enough she did a martial arts television-style circular wave of her hands by her face, then extended the one arm with hand palm-up ..... and used her fingers to say, "C'mon....." HILARIOUS. I don't know how to word it better than that - but its the move you see on the Matrix when Neo learns to fight and he's challenging Morpheus. I caNOT imagine where she has seen that move, but it was hysterical that she challenged those big boys like that. She had THE BEST time and talked about beating up boys for days!
On to Juliana - we were in the car and she had worn some cool GAP skinny jeans to town, but we played at McDonalds and apparently had torn a little on the knee. Eliza pointed out the tear to Juliana and at first she was upset - "Mommmm! My jeans are torn on the knee!" I told her it was no big deal, that we would just throw them away, since they were hand-me-downs anyway. There was a long pause and she says, "Can we keep them? I look COOL with ripped jeans!!!" She cracks me up. She is definitely my rock-star dresser. She likes an edgier style than the others. Anna Claire is my Pretty-Girl Tomboy - she wants to be pretty but it to be functional, so she can be active. Eliza is my princess. A dress all the time - and the fancier the better! Juliana likes ripped jeans (we just found out!) and rhinestones and black, and tank tops. She's definitely got a different fashion style, but she rocks it!
The girls started school last Wednesday and had a great day! Both of them enjoyed meeting their teachers and Juliana loved seeing her friends. All her classmates from last year came back except for one boy whose parents are divorced and the single mom couldn't pay for BCA alone. :-(
Eliza has some artwork up on the wall already - a picture they were supposed to draw of themselves, and if I do say so, she's by FAR the best artist in the class. Some kiddos just scribbled, but not eliza!
