"MOM. My tooth is loose, and bloody. I'm going to wipe the blood away."
"Lucas, Did it occur to you that your tooth might WANT to come out?"
"MOM. DON'T PULL IT OUT."
"Ok, let me just wiggle it and (TUG) see."
I am actually so excited for this. Mostly because I was young for my grade and I remember everyone losing teeth and getting special recognition at school. It never happened for me in Kindergarten. My biggest fear this past year was my dilemma to start him in Kindergarten or wait. I know it seems insignificant, but ALL I want is for him to have an enjoyable learning experience and to feel like he belongs. Feeling behind in any way can be so rough.
Well - he's started the toothy big kid "look" and I can't wait to see his smile transform in my photos through this phase of life.
His first words upon seeing himself in the mirror?
"Will the kids make fun of me?"
Oh, here we go.
