Well, yesterday I was slammed with my baby turning one. Today I was slammed with my five year old saying, "Mommy, I have been wiggling my tooth all day!" I looked in his mouth and, sure enough, he is losing a tooth!! What?? It was just yesterday that my mom said, "Amy, come and feel inside of Isaac's mouth." I felt it and he was cutting his very first tooth, the very one that is falling out now. I got teary eyed 5 years ago and I got teary eyed today.
I have a mom that was and is good about letting go and accepting the now. Why am I not wired that way? I really don't like change. I don't want my kids to grow up...but I really do. Suck it up, Amy. Life goes on. Accept the change and go with the flow. Teeth fall out and daughters become mothers. Right?? Sheesh!
Well, I'll have a picture of Isaac tomorrow. He is SO excited. He's been waiting for this day ever since Bethany B. lost her first tooth. He asks me all the time when his teeth will fall out and today was one of the best days for him, ever! He called all of the grandparents and ran up to Jay as soon as he walked in the door from work. He can't keep his fingers out of his mouth. What a happy fella. That makes me smile.

Oh how fun! I love 5 year old smiles with missing teeth. So cute! Happy tooth losing Isaac!
By the way, we saw Nana today at Dillards. She really misses you guys :(
He will have so much fun when it finally comes out---he will have his own little straw hole. I can't wait to see the pictures! Amy, you go ahead and cry---nothing wrong with that---we can accept the now and still treasure what was!!! love ya
Lindsey & I were just talking today about how different I am. I don't know why God didn't give me more emotions. Go figure!
Anyway, don't forget to tell Ike what Papa Sanders would tell him, "When you pull that tooth, if you don't put your tongue in the hole, a gold tooth will grow in!"
