bailey lost her first tooth last wednesday (the day before thanksgiving). she went to wobble it with her finger at lunch and there was no tooth to wobble. instead, she found some blood on her finger!

so miss denise sent her to the nurse with her friend. there, she got her mouth rinsed out and a cool little blue tooth holder/necklace. meanwhile, miss denise fished through her lunch for the tooth and searched the ground too! after finding a piece of cheese that she thought was bailey's tooth, she then located the real deal! hooray.

that night, bailey put her tooth under her pillow. the next morning, in its stead, she received 5 $1 gold coins from the tooth fairy!

so much to be thankful for (especially for family and friends).
this year, we went to instinet's thanksgiving parade party again. cooper skipped his morning nap and partied like a big kid. AND he managed to stay awake until we got home for his nap. the girls, on the other hand, passed out in the stroller as soon as we got to the subway station.

we had a fancy dinner (just the 5 of us) at porter house in nyc where bryn got to drink out of a martini glass. then the next day, we got a visit from grandma merry!

on saturday, bailey, grandma merry and i went to new jersey for aunt denise's baby shower. baby bingo, lots of food and a chance to see uncle john and uncle mike too!
