The Tooth is LOOSE!

Dear Katelyn,
You finally have your first loose tooth and you are so happy! It happened on Mimi's birthday so we will always remember the exact date. You were eating an apple for after school snack and bit into it. Next thing I know you're running into the family room where I was sitting to tell me you had a loose tooth! You started moving your whole body in your excited shake moment. Even your friend Regan commented on how you move everything when you're excited. I sure hope you always shake that way with excitement. I imagine the day you are asked to Prom, the day you graduate, the day you get engaged and the day you find out you're having a baby of your very own. I hope you shake all the way down to your toes. I love seeing excitement throughout your whole body and can't wait to see you with a toothless grin. I know we have a ways to go but they normally come out one at a time so soon it will be 1 down and 3 to go!

Also, you told me you were planning to hold onto your tooth (and teeth) rather than give them to the Tooth Fairy because you don't want to let them go. I'm really not all that surprised. You definitely hold onto things tight.

Another milestone....time really does go by so quickly. I love you so very much and cherish every time something new happens in your life. It is amazing to live life through your eyes.

Love,
Mommy
