tooth fairy

tomorrow josh is going to have one of his teeth pulled.
his baby tooth is dead and the dentist says it has to go.
but he hasn't lost any teeth yet, so this will be his first!
(it is important to note that his bottom front tooth is very loose, but hasn't fallen out yet).

in all the excitement, i totally forgot that tomorrow night, the tooth fairy will be paying her first visit to our house!
so tonight, i raided my craft cabinets looking for materials to build him a little tooth pillow.

about 20 minutes later, this little guy was finished.
ready and waiting for josh's very first tooth.

"The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over, and expecting different results."
Albert Einstein

"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow."
Melody Beattie

“…when some doctor tells you “Your child won’t…” or “Don’t get your hopes up,” don’t you dare sell your child out and buy into that… defeatist attitude. Sometimes all it takes is a belief that it can happen, the determination to create the possibilities —the right environment, the right people— and the ability to love your child more than you fear their labels and limitations.”

Being deeply loved by someone
gives you STRENGTH;
Loving someone deeply
gives you COURAGE.

"It was my child who taught me to understand so clearly that all people are equal in their humanity and that all have the same human rights. I might never have learned this in any other way. I may have gone on in the arrogance of my own intolerance for those less able than myself. My child taught me humanity."
Pulitzer and Nobel Prize winning author, Pearl S. Buck

“The thing that is really hard, and really amazing, is giving up on being perfect and beginning the work of becoming yourself.”

"There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle."
