Brotherly Love

A couple of weeks ago, Bruce made swords for the boys out of cardboard, newspaper, tape, whatever. Finn got his out today for both sword fighting and some modifications. First was the blue-tape belt Bruce made for him. He was very proud.

Proud sword fighter

Next, he asked me to take a video of him explaining the soon-to-be modifications (black spray paint and an F on the handle). The audio is a little low, but really my favorite part is Ezra trying to interrupt and Finn’s expression as he pushes him out of the shot.

Finally!

Ezra’s second top tooth has been hanging by a thread for weeks. He’s been playing with it constantly and as it hung there crookedly, he looked like someone with very poor dental care. Last night at bedtime, he just wouldn’t go to bed — he kept getting up to talk about and fiddle with his tooth. And then finally he came in from the bathroom triumphantly after having finally pulled it out. Once it was safely in an envelope and tucked under his pillow for the Tooth Fairy, he was able to relax and get some sleep.

But first he had to show off the gaping hole.

No front teeth!
