We did go to lunch and the baby was on one! Hooting, hollering, eating crayons...he was quite behind on his nap. Good thing he's such a cutie pie!
Came home to pick up my darling from school and we discussed her day. She had a good day, did not get her fish turned and did well on two math sheets. I did get upset with her when she told me Jack kissed her hand. Was that wrong of me? She is just a baby in my eyes and I know she is innocent and doesn't know to think bad about those things. Not to say that was a bad thing, I just don't like that.
Anyway, later in the evening she was telling me about a classmate losing his tooth in class. For some reason I decided to check her teeth. And wouldn't you know, she has her first loose tooth!!! I checked it like ten times because she said it wasn't loose but, I felt it give. It is definitely loose. We looked at each other, smiled in surprise, and hugged tight. We both teared up. Me, because it symbolized my baby moving to that next stage of childhood. No longer a real baby...always my baby...
Through her tears she asked if we could keep it instead of give it to the Tooth Fairy. I told her yes, that we would let them know it was to be a memento. She asked some questions about the process and later told me about how Nurse Liz at school had tiny treasure chests for kids who lost their teeth at school. "Dark and Light purple ones for girls." Things are looking up!
