A big day in Alex’s life!!! (and mine!!!)

February 3, 2008 by abbie 17 Comments

Alex, my sweet 5 year old, came running up to my while I was vacuuming and said, “MOMMY! YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS!!!”

I shut off the vacuum, expecting that he had found a bug or gotten to a new level on his video game. He looked up at me with wide, bright eyes and opened his mouth wide….and reached up to wiggle his first loose tooth!!!!!

I immediately got choked up and so proud (and a little sad!) that my sweet little angel boy is about to have one of those snaggletooth grins. The ones that I never thought were cute before, but suddenly I find myself thinking it’s going to be a beautiful sight! This is MY baby’s snaggletooth grin coming within days! Oh, the tears! I’m so excited and emotional…over a tooth!

So, I give him a huge hug and congratulations and then check it for myself….only to discover that all FOUR of his front little teeth are at some stage of looseness! The other 3 are pretty slight, but his top left has a nice little wiggle to it!

So….yeah. My little boy is growing up despite my every effort to prevent that! And…I love it. The tears, the lump in my throat and my tight chest are the fruit of so much pride and love that my son has reached this huge milestone in his life!

Today, I will take my kiddos out in this beautiful sunny weather and snap lots of pics while we still have all of our teeth!

    Aww, wow!!! What a milestone!!! How exciting (and of course a little bittersweet, I hate how fast kiddos grow up…and my kiddo is only 7 months, lol). Can’t wait to see pics of the snaggletooth grin!

    Have you ever considered about adding a little bit more than just your articles?
    I mean, what you say is fundamental and everything.

    But just imagine if you added some great graphics or video clips to give your posts more, “pop”!
    Your content is excellent but with images and clips, this site could undeniably be one of the greatest in its field.

    Amazing blog!

    Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though
    you relied on the video to make your point. You obviously know what youre talking about,
    why throw away your intelligence on just posting
    videos to your weblog when you could be giving us something informative to read?

    I’m just commenting to let you be aware of of the exceptional discovery my cousin’s child enjoyed going through your blog. She discovered a wide variety of details, most notably how it is like to have a very effective coaching heart to get many more effortlessly fully understand certain extremely tough matters. You actually did more than my desires. I appreciate you for displaying such helpful, healthy, educational and also cool guidance on that topic to Evelyn.
