Cody said his tooth had been bugging him yesterday morning. I brushed it off since we had been talking about them getting their teeth checked and figured we could address it then.
We went to our friends' for dinner. While we were there I realized his tooth was really loose. Weird, he's still seems so little! Jason is a dentist and checked their teeth. Then, before I knew it, he pulled Cody's tooth right out!
Cody was so brave and was pretty excited! I don't know why this makes me feel old, but it's like I've graduated to a new stage of motherhood now. I have a child who has lost a tooth. Honestly I'm so glad it was a dentist who pulled his first tooth out, it just seems right and I'm such a baby about things like that.
I was a TERRIBLE tooth fairy. Ben double checked with me to make sure I wouldn't forget to put money under his pillow. This morning I heard Cody get up (REALLY EARLY) and go into the living room where Ben was getting ready to leave. Then I SHOT up in bed, ran into the kitchen where the neat pile of change was sitting, sprinted into his room, stuck it under his pillow, and tiptoed back into bed. Then Ben got Cody to go double check to see if the tooth fairy had come and she did! phew. He was SO excited!
(She is looking up at me) Speaking of teeth, this little girl is getting some and it has been a painful experience for both of us. More for her. Neither one of us have slept much at all this week.
Simple things like doing dishes and remembering people's names have fallen by the wayside.
On a happier note, it was Easter this weekend! We had easter egg hunts; Cody at preschool, and Macey with some ward friends.
Before the hunt all the kids lined up for pictures. Except Macey. Picture all the other kids to the right of Macey smiling and looking generally cute. Then notice Macey on the side crying and whining about how she doesn't like this. I got a video of it to show to her when she's older to wish her luck rearing her own.
Once I went with her to help her find eggs, with candy, and her sweet friend came along, she really enjoyed it!
Then, she REALLY enjoyed life opening each egg and finding more and more candy.
Easter morning:
We actually were able to get ready for church and have a few minutes to spare so we got easter pictures in our front yard.
I love this one:
I hope my kids remember that Easter is about Christ and not candy. I'm not sure I did a great job about reinforcing that, but I am really going to try next year. I'm not sure I'll be any less tired, but here's to hoping and then I'll have brain power to try.
The rest of the pictures are of random things we've been up to lately:
Cody and Macey are playing soccer.
Macey had her first game last week. She did awesome at practice and is quite the little dribbler. Then at the game she was going to do the kick off after some serious coaxing by the coach. She got ready and they told her to go and she stopped looked around and burst into loud tears. That's the last time we got her on the field. We'll try again though!
Here's Cody at his game, plus a video at the end of him. He loves it!
Here's Macey and Mackayla in little matching outfits, thanks grandma Sylvia!
All drinking from sippy cups:) Mackayla is obsessed with them right now.
We've taken a couple trips to the zoo lately.
Cody did a lot of this:
I don't know exactly why.
Macey did a lot of this:
Mackayla surprised me. She honestly loved seeing the animals!
Evidence of young children always pops up in random places:
Who knew shoes were train stations.
Last, but not least, here's Cody at his last game:
