The Lost Tooth

Aurora lost her first tooth today. We at first thought she had swallowed it because she came and told us her tooth was gone but she didn't know where it was. We looked everywhere, but to no avail. Then, while I was doing the dishes, I looked down and saw a small white speck on my black mat. Sure enough, her tooth. We put it under her pillow for the tooth fairy. What a milestone!

First Day of Kindergarten

I must say that I feel like somewhat of a slacker because all of my friends have already blogged about their child's first day of school. We tried to make her day special, but starting off with little white powdered donuts for breakfast and asking her what she wanted in her lunch. I think that she was more nervous than excited, but after it was all over she said she really liked school. She woke up without a fight today which I was sort of surprised because we are still on California time. She got all ready and we all, as a family, walked her to school. She was so quiet, and she told me later that there were rules and a boy in her class broke one of the rules and he had to sit on the wall. "You don't want to be sit there, mom" , she said. It was awesome to see her growing up and excited to tell me about her day at school. She took quite a nap after school along with her brother, which was great for me because I had quiet time for about and hour. It was a bitter sweet day today, but I'm so happy that she was happy and had a great day.

This is going to be a quick post of our camping trip. We are in California for two weeks visiting my parents and we went camping for four days. The kids were so dirty but they had a great time. I wish my husband could have joined us, he would have had a lot of fun as well. Maybe next time sweetheart. We love you so much and we miss you just the same!!!

PS. As for this pictures of me...just keep in mind we were camping:)
