Captain Silvertooth and his Clamorous Crew

Tristan had to get a crown on one of his baby teeth. Since it will eventually fall out; it is the less expensive metal variety. It reminded us of Hippopotamus George's gold tooth from George and Martha. It replaced his favorite right front tooth that fell out in a rollerskating incident on his way to visit Hippopotamus Martha. Tristan is quite proud of it, however does not like being called "Captain Silvertooth" or "Ole Silvertooth" we found.

Dorian is very adept at climbing. He had taken to climbing up on Tristan's desk for awhile. Then he started climbing higher! He'll sit on the pen-holders and put his feet on the desk top. Then he'll whine because he can't sit up straight. Or he'll stand on the desk and grab the underside of Tristan's loft bed. He's really trying to figure out how to climb up into Tristan's bed. He tries climbing the ladder, but doesn't get very far before he's stuck with his head or leg through it in some weird way he can't undo.

Dorian loves to eat. Tristan does not. Tristan takes hours to finish a meal. Dorian chows down and gets it over with. Yesterday, we all sat down to eat a KFC lunch. After about 20 minutes, Eric, Dorian and I were all done and we cleared our table except for Tristan's plate. Then we turned on a Thomas the Tank Engine show and I went to take a nap and Eric went somewhere else in the house. Then I hear Eric exclaim, "Where did you get that?!" So I ran into the living room to see Dorian sitting on the floor in front of the TV with a drumstick in his hand, going to town on it. Tristan was sitting on the couch watching the show, oblivious that his brother had swiped his food off of his lonely plate. Eric said, "Look at him, he's like some sort of viking!"

Tristan said with a smile, "Oh, that's what Gramma said? What did Grampa say about my new tooth?"

Grandpa said it is a bright and shiny tooth. Keep smiling :)

OMW, that's funny. Tatiana is going through what I hope is just a stage...she won't stop talking long enough to eat her meals! She loves food and she's always chosen it over play if we are at a gathering. But lately she talks NON-STOP!!! When time is an issue, which it often is, we eventually have to tell her, "No more talking until it's gone"!
