Well, just 5 days after I lost my first tooth, I've lost my second tooth. I don't know if this one was as ready to come out as the first one was, because it bled a little when I pulled it out. But it didn't hurt. Now I have a big hole in my mouth. I don't have any more wiggly teeth right now, so after tonight, it will be a while before the tooth fairy has to come and visit me again.

And you can also see that my eye looks much better today than it did yesterday.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY!!

Yesterday, I got a bug bite next to my eyebrow and it got a little puffy, like my bug bites usually do. Mommy put some stuff on it and it looked like it was getting better. This morning when I woke up, my eye was all swollen and Mommy said I looked like Rocky. I don't really know what that means, but the grown-ups think it's funny. My eye actually looks better in this picture than it did when I first got up this morning. Mommy took me to the doctor to have it checked out and he said it's not infected and that it may not look much better tomorrow, but by Thursday it should be a lot better. I'm also supposed to take some Benedryl to help keep it from itching.

This was me yesterday afternoon

(trying to keep my eyes open this time)

Today on the way home from the gym, I was trying to show Mommy how wiggly my tooth was, but she couldn't really see it in the mirror. She asked me how it was doing and if it was still in my mouth. I told her no it wasn't because I just pulled it out. Then I dropped it!! Mommy told me not to move and she pulled into a parking lot and got out to help me find it. We looked on my booster seat and it wasn't there. It must have gotten stuck in the folds of my shirt or shorts because all of a sudden Mommy found it on the floor. I held it until we got home and then Mommy carried it into the house for me so I wouldn't lose it again. Once we got inside, I took it to my room and put it in my tooth pillow so it will be ready for the tooth fairy to find tonight.

Here I am after losing my first tooth. The one next to it is also pretty wiggly, so maybe it won't be long before it comes out, too!

This week I went to L'il Bits Camp at the Center for the Arts. I got to learn all about putting on a play, and the play we used was "And the Dish Ran Away with the Spoon," adapted from the book by Janet Stevens & Susan Stevens Crummel.

There were 17 kids in our session. On Monday, we auditioned for our parts. I got the part of Miss Muffet's spider. I brought home my script and Mommy and I worked on it that night. We read it a bunch of times and by Tuesday morning I knew most of it. My directors were very proud of me for learning my part so quickly. For the rest of the week we worked on perfecting our parts, learning where we were going to be on the stage and picking out costumes to wear. I got to wear a really cool spider costume with lots of legs, and they outlined my eyes with black and drew spider webs on my cheeks. We only had 5 days to get everything ready because today was the big day. We performed our play for our families and friends. We all worked really hard and did a great job. I had a really great time and I hope I get to do something like this again!

Here I am in my first stage role, The Spider.
