Our First Tooth Fairy Visit!

Ahhhhhhhh!!!! I can't believe it! First my baby starts Kindergarten and now he loses his first tooth! Time really does go by way too fast. I want to enjoy it while I can!

Ethan loses his first tooth:
He just noticed this morning that his tooth was loose and he thought he had a piece of popcorn stuck in his tooth (we had popcorn last night while watching a movie). I told him we flossed his teeth so I had to take a look and noticed that he had his first loose tooth! Well after a day of Ethan saying "mom I can't stop playing with it" his tooth was really loose. And after mommy and daddy explained the tooth fairy to him, he wanted his tooth out. So I took a look and it was REALLY loose, so with a few tugs it popped right out! I think I cried a little. He was so happy that he is growing up. I will have pictures and a few little video clips next month!

I just got to play "tooth fairy" for the first time. And with three little ones and a lot more teeth to go I better get used to it!

Video Clips and Update

My baby started Kindergarten! *sniff sniff* So far so good! And Ethan has a friend he went to preschool with so that is great. We also met a really nice 5th grader Kayla who has become Ethan's "big sister." She helped him get to his class the first day and holds his hand to cross the street after getting off the bus. She even said that people at school thought she was his big sister and she said to me "I wouldn't mind if he was my little brother, he is really cute!" How adorable is that! I am so thankful to God that Ethan has met such nice people in school so far! Julia and Caleb are doing great. We just did a major redo of our rooms! Ethan now sleeps in a bunk bed with Caleb's crib underneath it lengthwise. He has a little desk area and stoage under the bunk as well.(I will post pictures next month) We moved Julia to a big girl bed and she is doing really well with it! We are still working on re-organizing everything! We love our house but fitting three kids and all of their toys into two rooms takes some serious planning! Sean is now working at Pizza Hut doing deliveries, but Art Van actually called back and wants Sean to come fill out a form for a back ground check, so that is a good sign. I will keep you updated!

Here are some cute clips from August:


Julia got new Dora pullups and Ethan showing off a special project he did at quiet time with his scissors.

"George" the pegion we later found out was our neighbors pet! That made a lot of sense.

Ethan singing at West Side Community Church with the kids from VBS (Ethan is the second one from the left)He has the best personality but he gets stage fright and was stiff as a board! He will get there
