It seems it is all happening so fast. And Maddie thought it wasn't fast enough. Last night we were playing Disney Sorry with her and she leaned over to Josh and said "My mouth is bleeding!" She had just been sitting in her seat playing so we knew she hadn't hurt herself. I ran over and looked into her mouth and her bottom tooth was wiggling. It was barely hanging in there. You know Josh, if there is blood-he backs up. (it was a miracle that he has been there when the kids are born and cuts the cord!) It was so loose it needed to be pulled out. So it got to be me! Lucky Mom! After a couple quick tugs and out it came. She has lost her first tooth! We took some pictures, put her tooth in an envelope and put it under her pillow. And sure enough bright and early at 6:30 this morning she came running into our room "I GOT A DOLLAR!! SHE CAME!! SHE CAME!!" It has gone everywhere with her today.So last night it started really hitting me. Maddie had been looking forward to loosi
ng a tooth for at least a year. I always told her that she would be in Kindergarten when she would start losing them, that it would be when she was a big girl and when her big girl teeth were ready. So this on top of sending her off to Kindergarten it hit me hard last night. She is completely in love with her new teacher. She didn't want to leave her or her classroom today. Moms have told me "Once they hit school, it seems they grow up even faster." I am starting to believe they are right.

Losing teeth?! Holy cow, I didn't even remember that was coming around the corner! I'm right there with ya... part of me is excited to see my kids grow and progress and watch them hit the next stage, but another part of me wants to hang on and keep them just the way they are.
It doesn't seem like that long ago (and it wasn't) that we were looking forward to putting our kids in nursery. Now they're off to real school!
I think the reason that part of me doesn't like it is because it means I'm getting older too and that's a little scary!
