Doctors Give the Best Christmas Gifts AND James's Tooth;)

Growing up Uncle J-me always gave the best Christmas gifts, Amy and I used to open his present first on Christmas Eve because it was always so cool and we couldn't wait.  Well, he is still an excellent gift giver and the kids have LOVED all of his super special gifts that he (obviously) puts a lots of thought into.  Well, this one may take the cake J-me (yes, even more than the Wallace and Grommit magnets), but I am guessing maybe it was David's influence and you can't take all of the credit;)  The top two pictures are showing the gift from last Christmas and Gabe using it to teach the kids about the digestive system during dinner.   Granted James was most concerned about the last step in digestion, but they now can both identify the major organs of digestion... up next, the skeletal system :) Thanks J-me and David!!

Now to James's tooth drama... We were at the playground and he chipped his tooth on one of the metal structures. He was pretty devastated about it and couldn't talk about it without crying for 2 days.  It was a very minor chip, but it did make his tooth ragged, but that was about it... he could still suck his finger, so it wasn't that bad;)  He was most concerned that we couldn't get that little piece of tooth back, so we discussed that maybe he could write a letter to the tooth fairy explaining what happened and she could find it just like when Noah lost/swallowed his tooth at the park. When Noah got home from school, through tears, James told Noah what happened to him and how he needed his help because he didn't know how to write a letter to the tooth fairy.  The letter above is what Noah wrote for James, "Dear tooth fairy, from James. James lost: a little piece of his tooth"... seriously it was such a sweet moment.  Noah placed the letter for James before bed and let him borrow the tooth pillow just in case the tooth fairy had something to leave James for his piece of tooth:)  She came, left him a quarter for his bit of tooth and he was one happy boy the next morning... big sibling to the rescue!
