Maia lost another tooth!

Maia lost another tooth last night. now she is missing her two bottom front teeth. there is a new one coming in already. she isnt even 5 yet! and then we have Ethan who is nearly 7 and has all his teeth and this drives him absolutely bonkers that she lost hers and he didnt. although in his mind I am not sure he understands that he is older. I think he thinks of them as the same.  but he has a sweet and generous nature. even if he can be a little monster sometimes. whenever he hears about someone who has less than he has he wants to give and share what he has. He understands givng from the heart in a way his sister doesnt.  so she lost her teeth but he has gained a giving spirit. I guess it comes out even.

I have the boy off his meds today. An experiment. he is still Ethan but MUCH LESS SO. so do I try to find a different drug that wont make him so aggressive? or try to live without? I medicated him wiht the hopes of making him better, not worse! life with him is unbearable on his meds.  he is angry, he lashes out, he snarls at us all day long. it is hard to be  a loving and sweet mom when the entire day you are told everything you do is wrong. not to mention he is eating everything in sight today while off his meds.
