Cheese and Teeth

Ephraim fell asleep with his shirt off the other night (yes, early enough when there was still light). Too cute in his favorite pants and stuffed puppy.

Gabriel enjoys brushing his own hair after a bath to make himself "look handsome."

Gotta practice the funny faces in the mirror too!

Gabriel's mattress is usually in my room on the floor (helps us both sleep for now and he's not in my bed). To keep the kids from jumping on the thin slats left exposed on the frame, I put some extra shelf boards, cardboard, and pillows and blankets there as a quiet reading spot. Success!

This past weekend we all went to a birthday party at Chuck-E-Cheese. I don't think we ever took the kids there before. Paul and I browsed one in San Jose when Gabriel was about two years old, but we didn't like any of the games. This place was better and he was old enough to enjoy most of the games. Here he is peddling to make the helicopter go up in the air.

Ephraim liked the rides best. Yay for firetrucks (three times in a row)!

Gabriel felt something "dry" in his mouth when we went to brush teeth on Friday night. I looked to see if it was food stuck and it was a TOOTH!! Hard to see here but it is poking out behind his front teeth (slightly to the left). We had a talk about wiggling teeth (so it doesn't scare him) and the Tooth Fairy. Is my baby really old enough to lose teeth already?! (age 6 is average)
