Another tooth gone

Declan is staying home from school today since it's my mother's last day in Halifax before heading home tonight.


Declan pulled his own tooth out this morning. He'd been playing with it for weeks.

He's missing his two front teeth now. Fortunately, we don't think the empty space will be there for long. We'll be spared being sprayed by spit since we can already see the adult teeth coming in.

Darby is sick today - he threw up in our bed last night - TWICE! Being the heartless parents that we are, we made him sleep on the floor the rest of the night. Seriously, we were running out of sheets.

We learned the reason for the goat yesterday. Apparently, it's an Italian superstition that when you bring a new born home there should be a goat waiting. I've known Italians but I've never heard this before. Marla said she grew up in a predominately Italian neighbourhood but she never heard of this either. Can anyone confirm that our neighbours are bullshitting us?
