something's missing

Gracie lost her first tooth about a month ago. I believe it was the very day that my computer died (with all of Emma's photos on it), we raced around to get to swimming only to have the class cancelled due to a thunderstorm just as my kids were getting into the pool, and the weekend we were planning my oldest baby's 10th birthday party. Those "minor" details coupled with post-partum hormones and rocking another sweet, sweet baby and not being able to believe that she too will grow up and turn 10 one day made me a weepy basket case when Gracie lost her tooth. I confess that I didn't react with enthusiasm and the typical "Wow, what a big girl you are becoming" speech. I cried, instead.




But now that a month has passed, I really am excited that this sweet girl is growing up! She has stepped into her "big sister" role quite nicely. And that makes my heart happy.




But, I am secretly hoping that she keeps that adorable space in her mouth for just a wee bit longer. :)

I do hate post partum hormones. I think that is one of my most dreaded things. They were the worst after Emma and who knows what went on after Zion. : )

I love her missing tooth. She is so insanely cute!

Goodness, what a doll!! How old is she now? My daughter is 5 1/2 and she is DYING to lose her first tooth. LOL

Oh, Gracie is adorable with her missing tooth!! Our Alisa's tooth started wiggling last week, and I'm having a hard time with it too. =( I'm blaming part of it on "moving emotions" though. Hee. Hee. *Hugs!*
