A tooth has finally arrived!
Well, not a tooth exactly, more like a little sliver of a tooth has made an appearance.
On Father's Day.
Babies daddy found it.
How fitting.

I was starting to think I would need to order dentures for my wee girl, ten months and not a tooth in her head!

A chance encounter with a helpful mom garnered me the fantastic tip about a homeopathic remedy - Camilia - little 1ml unit doses of a magical elixir.
Not only do I feel good about giving them to my precious babe - they work!
Really fast!

Available wherever homeopathic remedies are sold...

I've been thinking about getting a house sprite - an elf, or brownie, or just a good old fairy.
I've been thinking that my girls need a bit more magic in their little lives.
So, the plan is to start creating the mythology of our little house fairy - the husband wants to call him Ned.
Small gifts of nature will be left on bedside tables, impossibly tiny notes written in whisper thin pen will be strategically placed, and hunts for Ned will be organized in the garden.
I am hoping that this will spark their imaginations.

I know that Amalia at ten months of age is far too young to appreciate Ned, but I think her big sister of four will find it all rather amusing.
Who knows, she may decide to leave small offerings of cupcake crumbs for Ned to enjoy...
