The Eid's Have It: Bump. Tug. POP!

Bump. Tug. POP!

Today you BUMPED your very loose tooth when you were playing with Julia.

It bled. You cried. But it did not fall out. It was hanging on by a few more threads than what would make it easy to just wiggle out. You wiggled and wiggled, and it bled and bled. When I asked if you wanted me to pull it out, you said “NO! YES! NO! Okay…yes…”

Covered in a bit of toilet paper I wiggled, TUGGED a little bit, and

POP!

The second front tooth is so close to falling out it won’t be long before it is out too. Once again, your look changed in a instant. A bit more grown up and a little bit goofy…

With moving from house to house, we found the tooth fairy pillow that Kate and I used when were little. You stick the little tooth in the rainbow pocket and the Tooth Fairy fills it up with her treasure!

Why Do I blog?

Welcome. Why do I blog? I blog for my two little girls so that when I am long gone, soaking up guilt-free sun rays, laying on a big fluffy cloud up in Heaven, they can remember. They can remember the simple things. The little things. Those things that are small to everyone else, but mighty to this mommy's heart. I want my children to know that not only the major milestones were remembered, but also the little milestones. Her first bike ride, her first bee sting, the first time she planted seeds in the garden. They will both know, not only were they loved deeply, but also the magnitude of that depth. Why not just journal? Because part of me hopes that in my day to day writing, someone out there in this mighty World can relate. Can relate to one little thing that runs through all of us--the desire to remember the times that made us laugh, smile, cry and most importantly, treasure our loved ones.
