weinraub’s words

The title says it all. Well, most of it.

He has had a loose tooth for several months now, but it did not seem to be making any progress. Then yesterday, in a battle that pitted his teeth against a Play-Doh container, the container emerged victorious, leaving the tooth in its wake.

Poor Benjamin was taken aback by it all. We had not really prepared him for it since the tooth did not seem to be loosening.

I’d like to post a pic, but he’s being shy and our camera recently broke. ;-(

We’ll be doing a Tooth Fairy thing tonight.

Way to go, Benjamin!

Just overhead Benjamin singing the following lyrics, ostensibly to the closing two lines of “Happy Birthday To You”:

There’s no such thing as monsters.
Happy Birthday to you.

Don’t know what that kid is thinking, but sure do love him like crazy.

Benjamin just asked me if a crocodile has a uvula.

Wow…

The kids each danced with their classes at the recent Children’s Day event at their school.

A note about Benjamin’s performance. You will notice that at some points in the song, he is looking at his hands, trying to get his fingers just right. He’s trying to create this hand/finger configuration:

Call me

Very cute that he is so concerned about getting it right.
