Back on the 7th, my 6 1/2 year old finally lost his first tooth!!! Right at bedtime I gave it a little twist and it came right out! It surprised both of us! He was so excited for the Tooth Fairy to bring him a dollar! The new tooth is already coming through and pushing some of the other teeth loose! So exciting!
We had a very low key Spring Break this year. With Daddy working we just stayed local and had a few adventures when the weather cooperated! One afternoon we went with our friends the McCann's to the Aerospace Museum at Hill Air Force Base. We always say we should go there when we pass it on the way to Idaho, so when my friend Caroline suggested it we were excited! (We learned at the end of our visit that the kids really shouldn't have been up on the airplane or even touching it, but it made for a cute picture!)
At the end of our Spring Break we had the pleasure of being with our nephew Cannon for his baptism! Isn't he a handsome dude? He really is a cool 8 year old and we love him! It was fun to visit with Jeff's family over the weekend, and to be with Cannon for this exciting step in his life!
On the 14th I decided it was time to say goodbye to the binkie! Alison was starting to want it even when she wasn't sleeping, and I knew I was addicted to her having it as well! I cut it up and let her suck on it and told her it was broken! She didn't like it! I asked her what we should do with it, and she said "Ith gawbage!" (with her little lisp) She threw it away herself! So cute! That first day she didn't take her nap but slept beautifully that night. The next day she took a 3 hour nap and again had no problems at night! She talks about it still, but she really doesn't need it! "Binkie gone! Ith broken!!" I don't know if I'm excited for her to grow up, but it's inevitable! (Her 2nd birthday is tomorrow!!)

Happy Birthday Alison! I can't believe she's that big and I can't wait to hear that lithp! Love you all!
first loose tooth, baptisms, & no more binkie...you have been busy!
Chad was so cute last Sunday. I said I had heard he lost his tooth and he proudly displayed his adorable grin.
Happy anniversayr yesterday. Hope you got to do something fun. Happy birthday to Alison tomorrow. And by the way--she has one of the cutest sounding lithps I have ever heard.
That is great. Allison doesn't look on bit up set about throwing it away. What a plus. (I have that same outfit so cute.)
Happy Birthday Alison! I'm glad you posted about throwing away her binkie. I need to do this and your post is giving me a boost to get it done. I had heard that idea before of cutting the binkie and I am glad to see that it worked for you. Wish me luck hopefully it works as well as it did for you.
