Is there a Korean Tooth Fairy?

Last night Isaiah's very loose tooth just fell out on its own right before eating dinner. This week he has been telling us that Brandon needed to floss out his tooth, and yesterday being such a busy day for us he forgot to ask. But out it came. He was very pleased. His other front tooth is also loose just not quite ready to come out yet. Maybe with this one gone, it will help the other one to come out sooner. We talked last night before he went to bed about now that we live in Korea, do we now have a Korean Tooth Fairy. He said that he thought that she was going to be Korean. When he woke up this morning to find 1000 won, he had a new theory, it was that we have an American Tooth Fairy who just asked the Korean Tooth Fairies for some Korean money. At any rate, he is getting so big. And yesterday was a big day for him. During soccer this year for Isaiah has not been a great experience due to the fact that he didn't get to play any games. Well while I was at a baptism of one of the primary kids in our ward. Brandon took the boys to Isaiah's Parent and tot kick the ball (we call it this). After his practice Brandon noticed that the age group older than Isaiah's hardly had any players on it and so he asked the coach if Isaiah could help them out. The coach said that he could and afterwords told us that he was very focused for a four year old. We then proceeded to tell the coach that he was almost six and that we were told that he was too small here to play. The coach told us that he had five year olds on his team. Hum? I wasn't able to witness the game, due to the fact that I was walking to the field and we didn't bring the camera to capture the event. But, Isaiah was thrilled! He got to play the goalie and is following in his brother's footsteps and turned out to be great at it too. When asked, Isaiah told me that the score was 10-5. Brandon said 1-0. But they won and that's all that mattered.

Early Birthday

The boys took me out this morning to an early birthday breakfast. And then off hiking up in the Ap'san Mountains. I have been wanting to go for quite some time now and when we found out that they were only about 5 minute drive from Camp Walker, we are going to be going quite a bit more often. There are quite a few temples inside the Ap'san Park and we were able to witness a Monk chanting while people were worshiping. If you look close enough, you may be able to see the Monk inside the temple. We had a blast! The hike we did was pretty steep, and with two of us with colds it was pretty tough. There is a gondola that will take you up the mountain and
so next time that is what we will have to do. Then the boys took me out to eat to my new favorite Korean resteraunt. They cook the meal in front of you and then they hand you some leaves and you put rice, meat, mushrooms, rice cake, soy beans, then roll up the leaf and dip it into soy sauce. Yum! What a fun day!
