Marcus's last day of school/another tooth gone

I got home from work yesterday morning to the news that Marcus lost another tooth! It's one of the top, middle front ones. I guess it was just hanging there and Marcus was able to pull it out. Of course, he put the tooth under the pillow for the tooth fairy last night. The tooth fairy forgot that the tooth was waiting there and when Marcus woke up the tooth was still there. He was disappointed, to be sure, but his tired parents told him to go back to bed and maybe later something would be there. Well, the fairy got into gear and left a note and change in a box at Marcus's seat at the kitchen table. That satisfied Marcus when he saw it. Now, the note said to leave his tooth in the box tonight so the fairy could come back and get it. I hope she remembers.


We have a couple teeth missing right now.

Marcus's last day of 1st grade was Tuesday. He really liked his class this year and had an awesome teacher with Mrs. Barnum. We liked her because she was a little strict with the kids, but was still fun. You could see the difference in classroom behavior when there were a couple classes walking in the hallway at the same time. Marcus's class was usually the most well behaved. I really think he learned a lot. His reading skills have improved greatly and he is doing great with math. The challenge this summer will be to keep up on what he has learned. It is nice not having a schedule, or having to get Marcus out the door to the bus. We have enjoyed just being around the house. I can't believe that this August Marcus and Cale will both be going to school! At least we have all summer...
