Last week Payton lost his first tooth. He said, “I think when kids lose their first tooth they become big. They’re not little kids any more.” He came up to me the next day and said, “Dad, you know what. Last night I woke up and Mommy has kneeling over my bed. She was holding my tooth, and she told me to go back to sleep. You know what? I think Mommy’s the tooth fairy.”
We have been reading aloud Ramona Quimby, Age 8 by Beverly Cleary, one of my favorite authors and characters when I read as a child. Lately, Parker has been reminding me of Ramona. He’s been acting his age this week—not impossible, just difficult. Kids are kids wherever they live. I am sure he’d say the same about his parents, too.
