a very happy G...

Our sweet daughter is extremely happy with 2 events of this week.  The first one is a big milestone for a 5-yr old...


...yep, G lost her first tooth!!!  (OK, well technically her second.  But the first one - top right middle - doesn't really count since the dentist had to pull that one due to it being abscessed.)  Her bottom right middle tooth has been wiggly for about a month, and really wiggly for the past week.  The catalyst for it coming out though?  Knocking herself in the face while trying to get a sticky lid off her hair-tie tin (is she her mother's daughter or what? =)  It was almost all the way out after that and she let momma pull it out the rest of the way with a soft cloth.  She cried for approximately 6.2 seconds and then tears turned into...


...sheer excitement!  =)  The super fun comes when she gets to tell her teacher and gets her picture on the tooth chart in the kindergarten room.  She was so worried that it wouldn't come out before school was over!  And it is kind of funny that the two teeth that she is missing line up...


...to give her a big ol' cutie-patootie gap in her smile.  G's reaction to this?  "It's so cool, dadda!  I won't have to open my mouth to suck out of my milk straw at school!"  Congratulations to our sweetie on this big milestone!  (PS. we don't really have a tooth fairy at our house, but she did get a little gift and two dollar coins in the tradition of my father.  I remember getting two dollars from my dad when my first tooth came out.  He told me that one was for me to celebrate, and the other I had to save in case the new tooth didn't come in - then I would have money to buy a new one.  G thought this was pretty funny.  =)

The other big event for G this week?  Getting mail!  And not just a letter, but a package from Nana!!!  And inside was what G declared the most beautifulest, specialest, prettiest...


...Nana-dress ever!  So a big thank-you to Nana/G-ma K!  The material with all the butterflies is perfect for G, and the dress fits her really well too!  And of course, it has what all good Nana-dresses have...


...great twirl factor.  There was someone who was not happy with this package though - little C.  He wanted to wear G's "Bu-fly" dress too, which of course was not going to be allowed by G.  G did smooth things over with him by doing one of her favorite activities though...


...dressing little C up in one of her princess dress-up dresses.  And C wanted his picture taken too just like his big sister.  He may not be happy with me in 10 years because of this picture, but he sure was happy afterwards this morning!

Is C taking after his Uncle Marcus? I have to say I burst out laughing at that picture. He is too cute! And congrats G on the tooth-loosing!

The twirl factor on that dress is massively awesome!
