Lost teeth, bowling, and drawing (4 of 4)

Perhaps inspired by her newfound cooking-and-yardwork prowess, Madeline promptly went and lost her first tooth!

She wrote a note to the Tooth Fairy: "LOVE TOOTH FAIRY THIS IS VERY EXCITING"

"DEAR TOOTH FAIRY MY TOOTH IS IN THE TOOTH BOX DEAR TOOTH FAIRY THIS IS MY FIRST TOOTH FROM MADDIE"

The Tooth Fairy did indeed visit Madeline that night.

That weekend, we went duckpin bowling with Karen and Benji.  Chaos ensued.

The next day, we met up with Nathan, Brenna, and cousin Victor at Amherst College's Beneski Museum of Natural History.  There was a Triceratops skull ...

... and lots of other good stuff.

When the kiddos had too much energy to be contained in the museum, we ran around and played on campus ...

... and then around town, on either side of lunch.

Shortly thereafter, Madeline lost her second tooth!

And, after the kiddos helped Summer make Christmas cookies, ...

... Madeline penned another note to the Tooth Fairy: "DEAR TOOTH FAIRY I THINK THAT I MIGHT OF SWALLOWED MY TOOTH"

Meanwhile, Oliver worked on drawing his first recognizable person, ...

... complete with a head, body, arms and legs.

He seemed pleased with his work.

And Madeline joined the drawing party by making a library, which she showed off along with her tooth gap!
