will the tooth fairy come?

Last night, Alexander screamed while he was brushing his teeth: "Mommy, I'm bleeding ... for real!". I came rushing to him and he held up his hand holding a tooth and said: "I plocked it out because it was loose and then lots of blood came out." I helped him gurgle and wash his mouth with cold water. Afterwards, he was beaming with pride as he said: "I am a very brave boy, Mommy. I am so proud of myself." I can only nod in agreement ... he looked so satisfied.

He had been very anxious about his loose tooth. He wanted it to fall off in weeks. He thought about the golden coins he received from the "tooth fairy" when he lost his 2 upper and 2 lower teeth - he was very excited and expectant at the prospect of receiving another "gold" coin from the "tooth fairy".

Before going to bed, Alexander asked: "Mommy, if I sleep on your bed tonight, will the "tooth fairy" come? You think she can find her way to your room if I don't sleep in my own bed? I don't want her to get lost along the way." I can't help but smile and assured him that the "tooth fairy" will sure find her way.

Don't you love the innocence of a child? I envy their "world" ... so innocent ... free ... full of imagination beyond compare.

Russia - 2, Sweden - 0

... and Sweden is out of the game!

"It's ok, Mommy!", says my son. Yeah, it was good while it lasted, and we had great fun watching the games. Oh well, Sweden will still be around in the World Championships Games, so, see you then!
