Tooth Fairy time

Grace has the belief that being six years old is the reason behind everything these days. She had loose teeth before she was six, but now she has lost two teeth since she has been six.
The first tooth was her bottom middle right. I ended up plucking it out of her mouth because she wasn't quite brave enough. The second one, her bottom middle left was easier for her. We were hanging out at her friends house when she came to me and said "Mom,my tooth came out!" I knew it was coming out today but I thought I was going to be doing the same as the first tooth. Instead, she got a piece of toilet paper and plucked it out herself.
As you can imagine she looks goofy. But still the cutest goofy looking kid I know. I do believe that it will be a little while before she loses another one since there are no other loose ones right now.
And good thing, because the tooth fairy brings $2 for each tooth.
Check out the new look she's rockin'!

Grace is six years old

If six years ago my daughter would not have "graced" us with her presence my heart would not beat the same. She has a twinkle in her eyes that shines brighter each day.
Chris and I both are constantly amazed at the words that come out of her mouth, and how much of an amazing little lady she is growing up to be.
I decided to ask her a few questions so I could show her in the years to come and also for us to look back on and see how she has changed. She was actually quite reserved in her answers, which shocked me. I am still going to share them with you since I think a few of them will still make you smile.

The answers I found interesting were the one about her best friend, and what she wants to be when she grows up. Cody, is her new flavor of the month. I actually have not even met it, and the one time I saw her saying hi to him at school he didn't acknowledge her. Boys are so clueless! Or, he is in kindergarten and still thinks girls have koodies, which is normal. I guess Grace is just a boy crazy kinda gal. And then, the Claire's worker. She must know that mom and dad will love her no matter what, but I sure would hope her aspirations would be a little higher. I'll be listening closely to the answer next year!
We still have her friend birthday part y coming up this weekend. I know Grace will love to celebrate her birthday all over again, especially with her friends.

I can't believe I have a six year old. And Grace told me no one else will believe it either because she doesn't even look six yet. Ha!
