Micah's first loose tooth (the one on the right in the middle bottom pair)
These things mark our New Year. Micah woke up this morning and said, "Mom, I think I have a loose tooth." Me, being a little leery said, "Let me take a look." Sure enough, he has a loose tooth on the bottom front. I can't tell you the emotion I felt at that simple thing. I look at him at times and marvel at how big he is getting, but a loose tooth- that is huge. So, now we get to hear for the next however many days or weeks it takes to fall out..."Mom, I cant eat that, I cant brush my teeth, I can't play with that it may knock out my tooth." I cannot wait to see him without his first tooth. I may actually cry...my boy is growing up.
Okay, so if that wasn't enough, he is reading too. We have been working on this for some time, but to see it actually take shape then come out is something quite remarkable. We have been going through sight words and word charts and everything else you can think of to help him progress. Well, tonight Trevor took a First Start Reader book to bed for reading time and I heard these words,"Micah you read that whole book, way to go buddy, you read the whole thing!"
Oh the great joys of parenthood!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Precious. It is amazing to watch our kids grow. It all goes by way too quickly.
That's awesome Keva!!
At the dentist last week, they showed me that John's bottom two are about to become loose - does that make sense? They were wiggling, only barely, but were going to be getting wigglier.
And John can only read the word Fire. Because he is obsessed with firetrucks. Send Trev over here to teach him, pls. I have no exp. E taught himself. (odd but true) I am a loser.
Sophie wants a loose tooth so badly! It makes me sad to think about it though. When did they get this big!?!?!
Good job on the reading!!!
I miss you guys! Can't wait to hang out again soon! Tell Micah I want to hear those skills and see that tooth!
Awwww! If only we could slow them down...just a little!
