Libby somehow got an email account and sent me this email this morning:

I love you mama and I want my money I love you so much I'm happy I'm gonna go to the bathroom oh I love you so much you're the best mom

Yesterday, Libby lost her very first baby tooth.

Today she lost her second baby tooth.

--Cooked dinner (what else is new?)

Would anyone like a free copy of Baby City on audiobook to review?
