wiggle

i have been a stay at home mom now for a little over 5 years.  my job description has stayed pretty much the same for the better part of those five years.  i have been boo boo kisser, laundry washer, breakfast maker, playdate coordinator, fight ender, bed tucker-inner, story reader, nose wiper, bum cleaner, dance party mixer, grocery shopper, car pooler...  and the list goes on. 

and on.

and on.

more recently i have added preschool co-op helper and homework harasser to the list. 

but for the better part of the last year, e and i have been hoping for a duty to be added to my list.  in fact,it started almost one year ago at this exact time.  look closely at the snap below...  can you tell what i am? 

how about here?

yep.  a year ago i started dressing the part to practice for the job that e and i were seeking to add to my current list of duties.  e got her first wiggle on the bottom fronts at that time.  and then they just hung out there.  thrice she has pleaded with our dentist to remove them for her.  thrice he has told her that she has to get them out herself. 

so you can imagine her joy when one of the two was ready to be extracted by her dad.  a tiny pull and voila...  i became the tooth fairy. 

and e... 

well, she went to sleep on time for the first time in months.  smile.

this fairy gig is tough work, but i am happy to add it to my list.
