Crazy Question - Please jog my memory

Wow! An Alyson Moment
OK, so I know that laughing hysterically and following your child around with a camera is not exactly the best way to handle a moment like this. Sometimes you just can't help it and all you parents looking at this can't deny that you have done the same at some point. If you haven't, just humor me and let me think you have. This is also proof to some of you who think Alyson is so sweet and not capable of things like this that, yes she is.
Basically, it all stemmed from her wanting to sleep in the living room with Natalie (she has fall break this week). That was fine with me but she insisted on sleeping on the hard floor and I wouldn't agree with that. When we couldn't come to terms on that I told her she could just sleep in her bed tonight. Well, that went over like a lead balloon and this clip is just a small glimpse of the tantrum that ensued. There were some much more entertaining moments that I couldn't catch because as soon as I started recording she would run - I warned her I was going to get the camera out.
For all you critics who can't believe I allowed this to happen and actually took video of it - not to worry, she got what was coming to her after more than enough warning.
Finally, what Alyson really needed!

Poor Natalie had been waiting so patiently to do something with me after storm passed and she fell asleep in the meantime. We will have to make up for that tomorrow because I have a feeling she will have some hurt feelings.

Snaggle Tooth!

Snaggle tooth with her tooth and the infamous (remnants of) the candy bar.
Alyson has lost her first tooth! Wow! All this is happening too fast. I wasn't quite prepared for it yet. I figured we at least had a few more months. She started to complain of her tooth hurting just before her birthday last week. It had gotten pretty loose over the course of this past week and then this afternoon, she took a bite of a candy bar and guess what! She was so excited - "My loose tooth fell out!". She even tolerated the small amount of bleeding without a panic attack. We have our Tooth Fairy pillow ready and she is anxiously waiting for her visit tonight.
