Her two bottom front teeth have been loose for a week or so. But, as of Monday evening, one of them wasn't just loose. But, ready to come out. With a little help from Daddy. Twisting and tugging, the tooth finally came out! There was a little blood and a few tears. But, the excitement far outwayed any pain or discomfort.
Gracie was so excited that she had finally lost a tooth. The tooth fairy visited her that night too! Setting the bar a little too high, there was a new, crisp, pixie-dusted five dollar bill under her pillow in the morning! She is taking her new 'grown-up' status quite seriously! She has returned to her big girl bed in her own room and is attempting to sleep all night in panties instead of pull-ups! When she decides to be a 'big girl' she pulls out all the stops!
Another milestone, Gracie had her ears pierced! How times have changed! I had to wait until I was thirteen years old before I was able to have my ears pierced. The other day we had a house full of girls. Most of Gracie's friends-Little Rachael, Big Rachel, Annika and Shalissa. They were all talking about and looking at their earrings. Gracie was the only one of the bunch without. I know, I may have set a dangerous precedence. "But Mamma, All my friends have their ears prieced." So, hopefully I haven't shot myself in the foot for the next time when all of her firends want to get a tatoo or jump off a cliff! Whish me luck! The actual piercing went off with out a hitch! We had the girls at the shop 'tag team' her (good advice from a few friends) so their was only a split second where there was any pain. She was so brave! Her eyes filled up with tears. But, they never spilled over!
Our next milestone will be here soon enough. Gracie starts kindergarten in a couple of weeks. We are excited and nervous! Will keep you all posted as we get closer as well as let you in on any new events.
So, until next time.
Say Goodnight Gracie!
