Yea for Kaytlin!

Well the tooth has finally come out! After months and months of wiggling, the thing came out this morning. She was laying in bed and smiling at me. That thing was practically sticking straight out like it was going to attack me. I asked her to push on it and nothing happened so I pushed on it and it made the ripping sound. I have horrible memories of my mother ripping my teeth out and I didn't want to do that to her so I made her pull it out the rest of the way. So she did except that it was dangling by one last piece. She had a little blood on her fingers and didn't want to put them back in her mouth so she told me to take it out the rest of the way. I have never seen a little girl so happy and terrifed at the same time. Talk about building suspence, it's been loose since September. And she's almost seven and this is the first loose tooth. Everyone else has already lost several teeth. I'm so happy for her and I can't wait to see the excitement tonight with putting it under her pillow and and in the morning after the tooth fairy comes. Man I LOVE being a mom!

Grayvie is awesome!

This happened over a week ago and I've been meaning to write it down but I haven't had much time. I don't ever want to forget about this. One evening Josh and I were sitting on the couch watching tv when Grayvie jumped up on me (very normal, he likes to cuddle) but brought his stuffed fish with him. He laid it on my chest so I picked it up and teased him a little with it. He was having a great time but I wasn't really paying attention because of the tv. So I tossed the fish on the floor and he went running after it. A moment later he brought the fish back and laid it on my chest again. Once again I threw it and he chased after it. This went on for about ten minutes when I realized what was goin on. My cat was playing fetch!!! I have never heard of a cat playing fetch. The funniest part was when I realized this, I said something to Josh and he caught onto what was going on. Then Grayvie got bored with me and took his fish to Josh for him to play fetch with him. I love my kitty and enjoy him so much. He's added a lot to this family. Every morning I go in to wake up Kaytlin for school. She is NOT a morning person, so instead now I let Grayvie wake her up with his purring and pawing. She wakes up much happier now and he gets his loving. Isaac sneaks out of his room every morning while I'm is the shower and plays with him in the hallway. Anyhow, this was something I never want to forget about.
