H, you lost your first front tooth today!
(The left one.)
I was in the shower and you told mom you were ready to pull it out.
We got the whole thing on video.
It looks like you pulled the first 2/3 of it before letting mom do the rest.
I didn’t know anything about what was going on until you ripped back my shower curtain in excitement.
My baby.
How in the world are you going to be seven in less than a week?
I just love how brave you are.
I love you.
-Dad
H and K, you both got new beds today.
No more sleeping together on Mom’s old double bed for y’all!
Honestly, I’m amazed how much we got done today.
I was hoping to get one bed up.
But we got all your toys out, the brown toy cabinet out, and both beds setup and ready to go.
H, you were a huge help while we worked and pleased to be pitching in (excited to get your own bed, I think). K, you played happily and eagerly watched as we made progress.
(And now we have a million things pulled from your room sitting in the dining room that needs to be gone through. But that’s another story.)
You girls were so wound up after we finished you played cheerfully the rest of the afternoon in your revamped and cleaned out room.
We even ended the night by playing hide-and-seek about a million times before bed.
Your room is still airing out from the new mattress smell – so y’all are spending the weekend on an air mattress in our room.
That’s fine by me.
I’m tired and need an Advil and a shower.
I love you.
-Dad
H, you took care of your sister last night.
See, mom was bathing K and I was giving you a shower.
It was late. T was tired.
We were simply running behind on everything,
In the midst of it all, T began to fuss.
Attempting to pacify her, I put her and her carrier in the bathroom so that she could watch me give you a shower.
As I washed, you sang and danced trying to make her happy.
You had her laughing and smiling in 30 seconds.
You sang Old Town Road, that you had recently learned at Rock Solid (summer camp).
And I beamed watching you both.
I love you.
-Dad
