Wyatt lost his first tooth on Sunday. He had a dental appointment on the 13th and they told me his front two bottom teeth were loose. I scoffed in disbelief, because I had been routinely checking them. Turns out I was wiggling them "wrong". Go figure. The process of getting his tooth out was quite lengthy, as Josh initially volunteered to do it (and he didn't want to cause Wyatt any pain). After an hour of gently wiggling, I had to step in. I may or may not have had to headlock my own 5 year old, but the tooth literally popped right out and on to the floor once I got a hold of it. He got a toonie from the tooth fairy, plus 2 freezies and a Blizzard from us...and Josh's grandma showed up yesterday with a toonie as well! This losing teeth business seems lucrative. How much do adult teeth go for?
Not much going on otherwise. We've discovered that both kids have a love of music, but watching Paige react to it is hilarious. She sings along to "Wrecking Ball" and "I Like to Move It" (both songs would never have made it onto my iPhone at any point, but thanks to Wyatt's daycare's questionable taste in music, there they are. He requests them regularly.), and dances too. I've tried to catch it on video but she stops immediately and I get reprimanded. "Mommy. NO. Phone away." I'll catch it yet. She'll appreciate it on her 16th birthday when I send it to all of her friends.
One truly unpleasant thing I've been dealing with is a serious increase in migraines. Ever since the end of November they have been out of control. I miss at least 1 day a month from work, never mind the ones that hit on weekends. I had one a month ago that was so terrible I honestly had the "well, this is it" thoughts running through my head. It took 3 prescription migraine pills and 3 T3s to make it manageable. Not gone. Just manageable. And for the last 2 days I've felt like I'm on the verge of one, which is torture. I'm making a conscious effort to clean up my eating, but it most cases my migraines are triggered by hormones - which means I have zero control over it. I'm thinking a week of warm weather, no kids, no work, no family stress would really do the trick. Too bad I keep picking the losing 649 numbers!
