tooth fairy comes to China

Last Friday, some friends of ours offered to keep the kids for us, overnight! We took the kids to their house and then left them. We did not have any major plans but we spent a nice evening shopping and walking down the streets. It is harder to just walk with the kids, because they get tired an whiny and worry that we are lost. It does not bother Jon and I to be a little lost. That is how we find new places here in China. We made it home and had a quiet night. After lunch on Saturday, we went back to pick up the kids. Liam had a suprise for us...his first loose tooth!
We came home and ate dinner and then colored Easter eggs. In this picture you can see that Liam is wiggling his tooth.



Easter morning, the kids got up a little early to see what the Easter bunny brought. Jon and I were too sleepy to get out of bed, so we just listened to the kids. It was amusing. I did not get pictures of their baskets. We went to eat lunch around 11, and while we were eating, Liam started crying. He either bit down on the spoon or just hit his teeth with it. It hurt, it bled some and then was VERY loose. After lunch we picked up a package from the post office. We were opening the package and Liam was wiggling his tooth. All of a sudden, he yelled," I pulled it out!"
He only had a loose tooth for one day!
Hallie lost her first tooth the next day after discovering it was loose too.

The tooth fairy came that night and brought his favorite watermellon gum, a 5 yuan bill, a 1 yuan coin, 5 jiao coin, and a 1 jiao coin. Only because it is his first tooth, the other teeth don't get that big a price.
