So here is the report from last night. The Tooth Fairy left $5 for M, and $1 for A. The girls seemed happy with their rewards when they woke up. At that time, A said to M, "Your mouth looks like a maze!"

Over the weekend, Daddy made a list with the girls of all of their memories from the trip to Paris and Spain. Here's what they remembered (with a little prompting):

Paris:

·          Going to the top of the Eiffel Tower. (A)  “I didn’t think it was that much fun.  I liked going up in the elevators but the rest of it was kind of boring.  I didn’t think it was scary for me at all.” (M)
·         “The Ferris Wheel.” (in Tuilleries) (M) “You were scared (pointing to Daddy).  Me and Alexa were the only ones that weren’t scared.”
·         “I liked the amusement park.  I really liked the bumpy slide and the carousel.” (A)
·         “Bumping my head on the log flume.  Don’t write that down.  That was one of my baddest parts.” (M)
·         “Being on the boat down the Seine.” (Bateau Mouche) (A)  “I didn’t like that as much, because it was too hot.” (M)
·         “One of my best things was seeing the Arc de Triomphe and seeing Notre Dame.” (M)  “I like our Cathedral much more better than Notre Dame, because it’s much more cleaner and newer.” (A)  “I like both, but we never got to go in Notre Dame.” (M)
·         “Picking out postcards.” (M)
·         “I liked the apartment; it was nice and big and comfy.  Alexa and I stayed up realllllyyyy late.  And in Spain, of course, we stayed up sooooo late.  But we’re only talking about Paris now.” (M)
