Tooth Fairy!

Sophie has officially lost her first tooth!  She came out from her room one night excitedly telling us that she had a loose tooth! 2 days later, out it came!  The night the tooth fairy came she was so excited, it could have been Christmas Eve. She had her room all clean and ready for the fairy to come- she wanted to make a good impression!

I have a jewelry box, that the kids always steal when they are playing pirates, Sophie quickly decided that was the box that she wanted to put her tooth inside. We set it next to the bed, and in the morning she had a pack of princess rings inside.  She was thrilled!  The tooth next to the missing one is now loose.  She might have a toothless grin for her Kindergarten picture!

My First Ice Cream Cone

 The days of sharing ice cream with Cade are officially over. He will no longer be satisfied with a lick or occasional spoonful of ice cream, he now demands his own.  For the record, he is a complete disaster at eating ice cream cones.  He will take some off the top, then bite down on the bottom, and gradually work his way to the middle.  He ends up with a mess of ice cream in his hand, proclaims that he's done, and hands the mess off to me. We go out for ice cream a lot, and his skills are not improving.  I don't recall Sophie ever being this messy of an eater.  Now when we go out for ice cream, I always make sure to bring lots of wet wipes.... For his face, hands, shirt, pants, table and floor.

 Going in for another big bite.

 Taking a look at Sophie's cone.

Cheers!
