Milestones

Ty has hit a cuple of major milestones the past few days! For starters.....

 

He lost his first tooth! :) He came downstairs Sunday morning and said, "Look, Daddy!" He had pulled it all by himself. lol. He was very excited.

He wanted to just keep carrying it around with him. He said he was going to church and tell everybody about his tooth!

A little bit of panic ensued at bedtime. We had told him that if he put his tooth under his pillow, he would get a surprise, but we never mentioned the tooth fairy. However, some other well meaning souls did, and so both of the boys were scared to go to sleep that night, fearing this scary unknown person would sneak into their bedroom at night. And if she could, why couldn't someone else??? So, we told them moma was the tooth fairy, but they still didn't believe me. So while we were there talking, I went ahead and slipped some money under his pillow and told him to look. He was still a little perplexed, since he didn't see me do it. But they weren't scared any more. A few minutes later, Jeremy and I were sitting in the living room and Ty came out in a panic, saying he couldn't find his tooth. He had taken it out of the baggie I had it in and dozed off holding it. When he fell asleep, he evidently tossed it, which woke him up and made him realize it was gone. So we had to have a scavenger hunt for his tooth, which then was placed back in the baggie and brought back downstairs, so it wouldn't get lost again. 

Then, yesterday was his first day of kindergarten!

He got to go to his first day of school with a new hole in his mouth. lol. 

He told me he didn't want me to walk him in - he wanted to go in all by himself. So I dropped him off in car line and pulled away, with a few tears pooled in my eyes over my sweet boy growing up too fast. Where has the time gone? I just want to keep him here with me all the time!

He must have had a fun day. Ha came home happy. When I picked him up and asked him what they did, his reply was: "We played outside on the playground. We ate lunch, we ate breakfast. We had snack. And I didn't have to take a nap!" So we know what his priorities are! ;)

Troy starts preschool tomorrow. This will be the hard one. I am somewhat used to Ty not being here, since he has gone to preschool for two years, but I am used to having Troy here with me. Not to mention he is my moma's boy, where Ty has been daddy's from day one. So, starting tomorrow it will be just me and Sis here at home. I may go crazy.
