1st Day Jitters!

As the first day of school approaches I find myself very nervous, sad, and excited. Little D will be going to Kindergarten in 5 days! I am excited for him because he is so ready and he is excited to ride the bus! But I am nervous because I have all these questions. Since he is my first to go to school I'm not sure what to do. How does this bus thing work? How does the bus driver know Little D will be with him? What supplies does he need? Does he need a snack? Will they be sending me a Your First Born Is Going To School Survivor Kit (for dummies)? The list goes on and on.... I am sad because not only is it his first day of school and he is growing up too fast but also he LOST HIS TOOTH!

Going Rate for Teeth?

My little boy is growing up so fast! One day when we were in Montana, Mom and I were upstairs painting and Little D was downstairs eating toast. All of the sudden we hear a scream and crying from Little D. Figuring that he just bit his tongue we were not too worried. Aunt S was down there to comfort him. Then we heard her say "Let me see...tooth is loose". I was thinking ... no way he is barely 5! Then Aunt S confirmed and I was like No Way! so I ran downstairs and sure enough there he was with a bloody mouth and one loose tooth. I quickly re-explained the Tooth Fairy. After what happened with his cousin Commander C, I didn't want him to be frightened. The next day we went to a BBQ and he was eating watermelon and came up to me with his tooth in his hand! He had no tears just surprise. Big J was making fun of me saying that I was gonna cry. But its hard to come to terms with. So we told him to wait until we were back home to put it under his pillow. So Sunday I went around inquiring about the price for teeth these days, not only teeth but first teeth. I figured that the quarter that I got wasn't going to be sufficient in today's world. Well he finally got to put it under his pillow and the Tooth Fairy came! Above is a picture of what the Tooth Fairy brought. Although it seems like a lot we learned that you can't buy anything for 5 dollars these days either!
