About a week or two ago Cade came running up to me saying "mom, is this tooth loose?" I thought to myself "surely not....he's not ready to lose a tooth." Duh- mom, he is in Kindergarten. I think Gracie lost several last year in k5. It about broke my heart. I have no babies anymore, they are losing teeth, and even this month we are allowed to report back to the dentist after school instead of during the day, b/c they are all now "School Age." So, not fair! I know they get big, but wow how time flies. He lost it at school and was so proud when he brought it home in the little treasure box. He put his treasure under his pillow that nightand was a little concerned about this whole tooth fairy thing. Cade's not a big fan of 'people' coming in at night and doing mysterious thing: Santa, Easter bunny, tooth fairy. He woke up that night and came to crawl in bed w/ us, which he often still does....I don't even notice it half the time. He's very sneaky and quiet, and goes to the foot of the bed where he can't be noticed. I woke him up the next morning to get ready for school, he was buried under 3 blankets all snuggled up. In his tiny hand he had a five dollar bill all wadded up. He was so proud. He ran to put it in a safe place...the Gamecock wallet of course. Til the next tooth I guess........
We enjoyed a great Easter at church, followed by a family picnic at Westminster Park where we played volleyball and baseball all afternoon. We were all a little sore the next day, but we had a great time. And what a blessing it is to have both sides of our families to celebrate with. Great- grandparents, grandparents, and parents all in one place!
