Another milestone!
Ethan is SO excited. He lost his first tooth this afternoon! It fell out today at Burger King in the middle of a meal - as you can see, it bled a little, but I think that the much-anticipated excitement of the tooth coming out kept him from freaking out over the bloody mouth.
He loves his Tooth Fairy Box (Zooth!) that Aunt Joy bought him a couple of years ago - I think he'd totally forgotten about it. He was very excited about the little trapdoor that holds the tooth!
We'll see what the tooth fairy brings tonight!

Learning to swim!
Ethan and Elana are both in swimming lessons this week and next (Mon-Thurs, July 7 through 17). It was originally only Ethan, but Elana was feeling a little left out, so we added her to the class. They're doing very well! Don't know if they'll actually be swimming by the end of this summer's sessions, but I think they'll have the basics down pretty well. I can take them to the pool at the gym to reinforce what they're learning after swim lessons are over (indoor pool, always comfy).
Elana is really afraid of putting her face in the water, but she's trying hard to do it! Ethan doesn't like it, but he's beginning to get used to the feeling.

Poor Headline Choice or Double Entendre?
Longtime Bozo dead at 83
Associated Press - July 3, 2008 11:13 PM ET
LOS ANGELES (AP) - To the world, he was Bozo, but behind the scenes he was Bozo, Incorporated.
Larry Harmon, who played the iconic clown for 52 years, has died at his Los Angeles home at age 83. His publicist says the cause was congestive heart failure.
Harmon was not the first Bozo the Clown, but he embellished Bozo's distinctive look: the orange-tufted hair, the bulbous nose, the outlandish red- white & blue costume. He eventually bought the rights to the character and licensed it to others, particularly dozens of TV stations around the country that hired their own Bozos.
Harmon once joked that you could say he was cloning before anyone else got around to it with DNA.
He said Bozo was a combination of the adult and child in all of us.
