Silly Mommy : "I lost my tooth, Mom!"

Saturday, August 30, 2008

"I lost my tooth, Mom!"

When I picked Aubrey up from school yesterday, she smiled a new toothless smile and said, "I lost my tooth, Mom!" This was her very first tooth to lose, so she was so excited! She had even wanted to lose it at school because if you do, you get to go to the nurse's office and get a necklace that has a tooth-shaped tooth holder. The nurse also gave her a sticker to wear. She was beaming all afternoon and evening. She has been waiting and waiting to lose a tooth and finally, she did!

Look Mom!

Her new smile! If you look closely, the new tooth is actually already growing in!

Carefully placing her tooth in her "Tooth Fairy Pillow" as Ella excitedly watches.

Her pillow and letter to the tooth fairy(she had written this letter a couple of weeks ago when her tooth first became loose-it was so cute!)

This morning-SCORE! The tooth fairy decided to be extra nice to Aubrey and left her $2 since it was her first tooth. Aubrey was shocked! The tooth fairy also left a note stating what the tooth rate was for her(so she knows what to expect from here on out). The note said, "Congratulations Aubrey! $2 for the first tooth, $1 for each additional tooth. Love, The Tooth Fairy." Yea Aubrey! We're so happy you finally lost your tooth. Great job at wiggling it!

This morning, after Aubrey had found her money under her pillow, she took one of her dollars, wrote a note, and stuck it under Ella's pillow.

Could Aubrey be any sweeter? It just melted my heart. I have the sweetest girls ever! Ella was so happy. If you can't read it, it says, "Dear, Ella I just want you to fill good. Love, Aubrey." Its moments like these that make parenthood the best.

I especially love that you were thinking of others when you got your treasure under your pillow. Ella I'm sure will also always remember when her big sister lost her first tooth. We are very proud of you, sad that you are growing up way too fast but know it's life.:( We love you very much and I'm sure the tooth fairy is smiling even bigger now and I bet the tooth she got from you is sparkling brighter than any of the other teeth she got that night. love nana & tata; 8/31/08, 10:40 AM

She is very giving and loving. She is also cuddly and asks for "snuggle time" daily:) She started tennis this past Spring and is loving it! I think we have finally found this girls "thing."

Now that he is five, he is really starting to show us just how darn smart he is. He is learning how to read at an incredible pace. He can count to 9000 already(he tells us this, but we make him stop at 100:)! He started preschool this year and just LOVES going! He wishes everyday was preschool. He has a heart of gold and is so loving. He is a Mama's boy that I can always count on to give me hugs when I need it most.

And fall off of everything;) He is often seen with a bruise on his head! His favorite thing right now is cars. You can find him most days pushing a truck or car around the house as fast as his little legs will take him. He also adores being outside. We love this little guy so much!

And luckily is now sleeping through the night! We love our Lukey!
