Soon to be toothless!

  So I am a little behind on updating my blog with AMAZING new events going on in our lives. A week ago EXACTLY my first born darling daughter lost her FIRST tooth! Can you believe it? She is 5 1/2 years old and already loosing teeth; but thats not all she also has another 3 teeth that are ready to go as well. Basically, in a matter of a few weeks my baby is going to be missing all four of her front teeth.

  What this means to me is 1.) the Tooth Fairy is going to be awfully busy at night and 2.) my baby is most certainly no longer a baby, this both makes me happy and sad. I am happy because we made it this far! and I am excited for all the other firsts to come along and to get to see the wonderful young lady I am positive she will grow up to be. I am sad because its the beginning of the end; she starts school this fall and I know nothing will ever be the same with her again. Pretty soon she will prefer "hanging out" with her friends to hanging out with me and she just might not be as excited to try out my latest handmade creation. I know that our relationship will change and evolve but is it normal to still look at baby pictures and REALLY wonder where the time has gone? Its hard to believe that this child was in my belly for 9+ months and has now been walking and talking her way around this world for 5 1/2 years. It seems like yesterday she had to have a binky, her blankie, AND her "Teddy" (really he is  a lamb and we still have him) just to go to sleep and now that blankie is hiding in her closet to preserve it, the binky was banished YEARS ago, and Teddy...Well he is currently residing in her little sisters bedroom just in case she needs him too.
