Correction: Right after I posted the previous, Hubby came home early and put Little Runner to bed while I scooted out the door for my 5k after all. First time running in the dark alone this year, but it was warm, dry and wonderful. I managed a 32 minute 5k and was quite pleased with myself. I felt fast and strong and grateful that I’m not skirting frozen puddles yet. I’m going to have to stop finishing off the run in the alley, though. There’s just not enough light to see predators or potholes.
Immediately after I got home, 5 minutes before Survivor was to start, Little Runner called from her bedroom. Her tooth had fallen out and she’d dropped it! I called in the reinforcements (Hubby, Soccer Boy) and we found the delinquent tooth just as the show was starting. Survivor first, bath later. After my bath the toothfairy paid a visit and then I slept very, very well.
All Downhill From Here 
wow, sounds like a very busy night!
congrats on getting out and putting in the 5k, and glad to hear that you got another bike commute in!
good luck with the 8k race!

Oh, gawd, do they lose them at 10 too? I guess so, since they still have some baby teeth. Hmm. My luck, I’ll probably have the almost-5yo and the 10 yo both toothless at the same time!

I keep telling the kids, when they claim that they have nothing to wear, that they didn’t leave out any money for the laundry fairy. I’m trying to perpetuate the perception that the tooth fairy does laundry for offerings, to finance her tooth-collecting hobby. It’s not working yet, and they’re running out of baby teeth…

Is running in the dark like “fishing in the dark”. That country song just popped into my head as I thought about my comment. Silly me.
