It was cold again today so I stayed home while Margaret went to work. I tried to figure out how to bring an Excel spreadsheet into my web site. I could bring it in, but it no longer functioned as a spreadsheet and so would be very difficult to modify as well as to create versions of. If I had no need for future updates, I could go through the work of establishing the links to the one hundred films listed, three times, once for chronological listing, once for alphabetical, and a third time for genre. However, as I do want the ability to update and I don't want to set up 300 links, I think I will seek help.
Daniel came over. I finished a video I shot of William and him playing with cars, it's fun. However, I forgot to ask Leesa permission to post it, so I won't. I did put together this silent time laps of building the submarine that went with the shark William got from the tooth fairy. I think that the shark is the favorite animal of the tooth fairy, it looses teeth its whole life. Maybe she recycles children's teeth into teeth for them...?

William lost his first tooth today. It was pulled actually. It was loose and then about a week ago the adult tooth emerged behind it so he ramped up the wiggling but to no avail, it still didn't come out. He had a dentist appointment today and he really wanted it out as the tooth fairy event weighs heavily on him, so she popped it out for him and let him carry it home in a plastic necklace shaped like a tooth. He has a special pillow with a pocket in it just for this event.


Wikipedia says this about the tooth fairy: "The most commonly accepted belief by academics is the fairy's development from the tooth mouse, depicted in an 18th century French language fairy tale. In "La Bonne Petite Souris", a mouse changes into a fairy to help a good Queen defeat an evil King by hiding under his pillow to torment him and knocking out all his teeth."
I'm not sure how the mouse was supposed to accomplish this task. The only version I've found so far, an English version on line called The Queen and the Mouse does not include the pillow and tooth part. This site contains better info on the tooth fairy.
