Lost Tooth

 Matthew did end up losing his tooth overnight last week, and we never did find it.  But the Tooth Fairy came and left him two quarters anyhow!  (He thought the extra quarter might be for James.)  I haven't gotten any good pictures yet of him without his tooth!

James seems to be mostly recovered from his tonsil surgery.  He hasn't needed any medicine for a day or two, although he sometimes still has a bit of ear pain (and asks for a warm washcloth to put on it).  And he's gradually getting back to eating.  He stopped eating altogether for a couple of days -- would not swallow anything but water -- which had us worried.  (Good thing he still has his feeding tube.)  But yesterday he ate toast and turkey, and today he's had Cheerios, pancakes, and milk (formula), so that's an improvement.

Matthew was out of school with a cold the beginning of last week, then I caught it in the middle of the week (just in time for a work trip), and James caught it at about the same time.  We're not quite rid of the sniffles yet (probably not helped by the extremely dry air in our house -- about 5% humidity -- so we're getting some estimates for a whole-house humidifer.)
