Good grief T – I gleeked in your face today.

I’m so sorry!

You were home sick. Mom was at the chiropractor. And you and I were watching TV and cuddling on the couch.

TMI, but I have this jaw/dental thing called “tori” that makes me gleek more than most…

So we are watching Coco Mellon and talking and carrying on and whatever – and I gleeked.

You held your face and said:

I got water in my eye.

Of course I immediately apologize:

I’m so sorry! Did I gleek and spit on you?

But I said that and your face went from shock to hurt:

You spit on me?! Why did you spit on me?!

And then I made it possibly worse by explaining that it was all a an accident and then showing you what a gleek looks like.

You looked so repulsed and confused.

Ugh. Parenting is hard.

H and K laughed hysterically when I told them the story. 🙄

I love you.

-Dad

K – my heart be still – you are the most beautiful kindergartener.

And now you have your first loose tooth.

I mean, I’m not even sure exactly when it happened…

It was like you went to Pop and Gammies to spend the night, came home, turned to me at the dinner table, and said, “look at my tooth, Dad!”

Mom wanted me to title this post wiggly tooth because that’s what you keep calling it, your “wiggly tooth.”

You are loved.

With every milestone, I feel like my heart could just burst with pride, nostalgia, and the ache of time passing.

More firsts, please.

I love you.

-Dad
