yesterday.

Yesterday was all excitement. We went to the dreaded Disney Store and purchased Halloween costumes. Bebe is Jasmine, Lulu is Belle, and ChaCha is the cutest Minnie Mouse. I foresee wearing these costumes every day until Halloween. Oh, yeah, and we picked up a DVD of "Cinderella" because we are slaves to the Empire of the Mouse.

Elizabee lost her first top front tooth. After rinsing and rinsing and rinsing to stop the bleeding, her first activity was to say some "s" words -- you know, like Chrithmath, Louitha, and Thanta Clauth. Very cute. When the neighboring tooth comes out, the new lisp will be even more pronounced. We'll have to start working on a rendition of "All I Want for Christmas (Is My Two Front Teeth)". And, for the record, the Tooth Fairy was a little short on quarters, so Beebs got a Sacajawea dollar and a quarter and one of the new nickels. The new nickel was a huge success. Take note, other Tooth Fairies.

Also, yesterday was picture day. So Bebe's new toothless smile will be recorded for all time. Hee.
