Milestones

Both kids hit milestones today. Trevor finally lost his other front tooth. If you know the saga of his front teeth, then you can appreciate how relieved we all are that he actually kept his front teeth until now! He almost knocked them out 3 times starting at age 3 and he had to have double root canals (called a double pulpectomy) to get them filled when he was 3 years old. So, today was a happy day (not to mention that this one has been hanging on for a couple of weeks past its welcome and was becoming a nuisance). His Daddy actually pulled it out. Mom has pulled the others. So now he's lost 4 teeth, and he looks exactly like I did in first grade--no front teeth on top. Maybe I'll find some photos and compare them side-by-side. If you look closely at the picture you can see the new one coming in on bottom. He also has 3 of his 6-year-molars coming in, so he has all kinds of changes going on with his teeth. Maybe that explains some of the fuss lately!

Also, today we took the rails off of Sarah's bed. Yes, she still had bed rails and wasn't ready to have them taken off. Today, out of the blue, she said, "Mommy, I want to take the rails off my bed today." I was ecstatic! Not to mention, it is a whole lot easier to make the bed. Whew!

So, the fact that today was a VERY LONG day of summer break for Mommy which started at 5:00 a.m. (son woke up then and never went back to sleep) and didn't end until daughter fell asleep sometime after 9 p.m. was made a little bit better by the fact that both kids hit some milestones tonight! Yay!
