zane's 1st tooth

Zane is growing too fast. For me. He's actually the shortest boy in his class and he's skinny. Not super skinny, just very fit and active. It's wrong that my 5 year old has a 6 pack stomach and I have a hanging belly. Thanks Zane.

As I said, he's 5 (and a half, as he always reminds me.) and he has lost his first tooth. He was eating when it happened and we are thankful he did not swallow it as several of his friends did. He was so excited for the toothfairy to visit. We had him put his tooth in a ziploc baggie under a jar next to his bed. Daddy did the transfer successfully and Zane was thrilled to find his tooth gone and money with a note in it's place.

He's already decided what to do with the money. A new Wii game, all the way! I hoped for books or some outside toy, but my guess is that it will be the new Wii fit plus. He's been saving his pennies to buy a new Wii game and has more then enough now. We've also been talking to him about saving money and how you should not spend all that you have but save some too. We'll see if he wants to listen or spend it all. So far when we play Monopoly together, he tries to sell me his properties to make immediate cash instead of holding onto them for lots of money in the long run. One day he'll understand it better. He is only 5 (and a half!) after all...
