Yuri has now lost his first tooth since becoming a Passanita. It's only his second tooth lost all together so it was a big to do. I gathered from his reaction that the first one was pulled out by someone and it wasn't pleasant. He did want me to do it, but wanted to make sure I wasn't going to yank it out all in one fell swoop. Soooo we jiggled and pushed and twisted for about 10 minute s before I gave it a little jerk and it it came out. Since his teeth are so spread apart he has a hug gap in the front of his mouth. He has another one loose on the bottom but was in no big hurry to work on that one although it is preventing the other one from coming in straight. We better start saving now for 3 sets of braces. I think they will all need them.
Yuri was very excited about the tooth fairy and seemed to understand the concept. It was so cute to see his expression when he woke up and found his dollar under the pillow where his tooth had been and watching him explain it to everyone who would listen. I could see Victor at the breakfast table trying his hardest to loosen any teeth he could so he too could have the tooth fairy come. The tooth fairy might go broke with all the teeth she has left to collect. The excitement it brings is priceless though.
We have now nicknamed Yuri "toothless in Williamsburg"

Too cute! The tooth fairy came to our J. while we were in Ukraine after a rather unpleasant trip to the dentist. It was a HOOT...once he figured out what a 5 Hrivna bill was, that is. I don't think he'd ever seen anything besides coins. It was interesting to watch him spend it, too. He was at the souvenir market with us and bought and returned several items that cost 5 Hrivna. He finally settled on a 3 Hrivna whistle that we haven't seen since we left UA and 2 bags of chips at the store later on.
That smile is adorable! ;)
Laura, I'm a friend of your mothers and have followed and enjoyed your blogs since she went with you to pick up the boys. I am so glad you decided to send them to public school. You will all be much happier when you can understand each other and there is no better way than having them with children their own age.
I admire your undertaking. It is such a large task to raise 3 boys that you can't talk to. You are doing it with such good humor I know the boys must be so glad you made the choice to choose them.
Keep up the good work.
