Sharing my Excitement with the Universe!

I'm looking back at an extraordinary week!
We've just returned from a play date at Cheam Park with other home educators in the area. Met some wonderful parents and children! We had a lovely dinner Saturday night with good friends, Rehena, Jonathon and Christopher (missed Bernard!) who live nearby and also home educate. It's been too long since we saw our dear friends, and has warmed my heart considerably for the time spent together on Saturday. We also had my mum-in-law over for dinner on Friday night. (I made this incredible fresh rhubarb compote with vanilla yogurt and candied walnut topping that was 'Wow!'). The children started 'Woodcraft Folk' on Thursday evening, and thoroughly enjoyed it. They painted a huge cardboard box into a colourful hippy bus. We played at the park with our dear friends, Liz, Freya and Heath, (who also home educate!) on the Friday before that. Got to see a momma duck who had THIRTEEN baby ducks! (amazing). The children enjoyed another round of ballet/tap lessons on Saturday, as well as an hour each at the local playground there. I met a wonderful mother and her daughter we hope to see again in two Saturdays. And in between all of this excitement, Cypress has suddenly taught herself how to swing on her own! She's so incredibly excited by this. Indigo gave Cypress a big hug & kiss when she heard the news. And, Ms. Indigo got her first wobbly tooth. An exerpt from a conversation yesterday:
Indigo says : 'Mommy! I'm talking to the bird outside and it understands my language!'
I reply: 'Really?'
Indigo replied: 'Yes! I told it I have a wobbly tooth'
My response: 'Oh. and what did it say back to you'
And Indigo concluded: ''It said 'Tweet'''
(hee hee)
Her wobbly tooth fell out today! Does anyone know the phone number to the tooth fairy?
