Mama, which one is worse, your tooth cracked or Medusa?
Pick one.
Hmmm. It's a toss up.
And for the record, I don't think it's an old wives' tale that you lose a tooth with each child (2 out of 3).

Los Pininos
We were looking for just the right name to capture the joy and struggle in balancing all the parts of our lives here in New Orleans, with our children, family, work, and selves.
I couldn't help but think of Elliot working on his balance, and Tita (my mom) standing him up, gazing in his eyes, and slowly letting go, screaming "Pinino!" Sometimes he'd stand for a few, others he'd crash down...Whatever the outcome, Elliot's response was half-fear, half-thrill and all smiles.
I'd like to think that's how we face our daily lives.
We are Los Pininos.
To the rescue!

Wouldn't it be nice if your toothless grin could turn people to stone like Medusa? A power I certainly envy.
Ouch! My theory on this, based on one child, is that having an infant results in often falling asleep without brushing one's teeth.
The tooth. Put a bag over Medusa's head and you are set. Broken teeth require a lot more.
If Ana had followed that question with "by the way, can I stay up all night eating ice cream and watching movies?" -- I probably would have been selecting a night's worth of DVDs for her in a second. Irresistible.
