Call for the Tooth Fairy...



Yesterday in our house hold we had some big news! Makayla has her first loose tooth! Yes, mark your calendars because the tooth fairy has been put on HIGH alert! I love it! The best part of the day was when Makayla called to tell me. For the first time in 5 1/2 years my daughter had a very "adult" conversation with me and I smiled...but held the tears back. Because not only was it a pretty exciting moment for us, for me it was realization that she's no longer a little girl...she's still little but she's growing up! A friend of mine pointed out to me yesterday after I shared with her the news that before I realize it, Makayla will be getting her license and off to college she'll go....wait....it isn't to happen this quickly!!!!

No one ever prepares you when you have children for how fast moments, the precious moments happen. One minute you’re bringing them home from the hospital and the next you’re sending them off to school and if you blink to much they will be adults starting their own families. Where does the time go? And why is it the small important, great moments happen so quickly? But it's the sad, overwhelming moments that seem to stick around way to long. We need to change this! :)

When I asked Makayla last night what she wanted from the tooth fairy...assuming she'd say money...her response was "Mom, I'd like a whistle or a bracelet." Fair...the tooth fairy can handle that and has made note!

I'm enjoying these little moments, so blessed to have them, so thankful to live them and love to cherish them!
