Luciano Lost a Tooth Yesterday

Before

"Other than a dimple

in a cute little chin,

What's more adorable

than a toothless grin?"

 - Azu Betty Espezia

After

Luciano has lost his third tooth now.  He put it in a baggy - because I haven't gotten around to making a pillow - I should really get on that...  And he wrote a letter to the tooth fairy asking if he could please keep his tooth.  It said, "Dear Tooth Fairy,  I would like to keep my tooth please.  Thank you.  Your friend, Luciano." 

So the Tooth Fairy left the note under his pillow, but she must have read it because she left his tooth along with a gold dollar coin. 
I wonder if he would have gotten more money if he had let the Tooth Fairy keep it?  :0 )

Ballerina Marisa at her first dance class

Marisa's 'arabesque' (did I spell that right?)

Isn't she just so sweet?

 This week Marisa had her very first dance class.  She started with ballet and then had her tap class right after.  I think she had a really great time with it and she was surprisingly attentive. 



They danced to the Tinkerbell movie soundtrack, which was beautiful.  Combine incredible amounts of cuteness -all those tiny ballerinas twirling around - with that music and you'll get tears every time.

Dance is the hidden

language of the soul.

-Martha Graham

The beginnings of graceful awareness...

What a joy it was to share this special day with Marisa!
