Proud Mommy Moments: The Tooth

Ready for the good the bad and the funny?  It's Proud Mommy Moment Time! This is your weekly chance to brag about the awesome things your kids, nieces, nephews, etc did and no one will judge because we told you to. Or you can do the opposite and tell us about those moments your kids made you so "proud"- i.e. something totally embarrassing but hey it makes for great blog material! 

Every Thursday!

Chances are you are writing something about your kids anyway- so most likely it will fit. Please grab the button for your post.  Make sure you visit my co-host  Kmama.  Head over to her blog to see her post and visit others who link up too! 

Some weeks I know well in advance what I am going to write about, often because of something embarrassing my kids did and sometimes even something pretty awesome; but this week I was kind of scratching my head.

My oldest two did both get their 2nd trimester report cards yesterday and are both doing awesome.  So that's a proud thing.

But that isn't entertaining or not much to blog about other than a little blip.

So if I want entertaining, drama, theatrics well no one like Miss Alex.

Look closely- do you notice something new about her smile?

Have you even seen a loud, dramatic, funny child lose their first tooth?  It isn't something you would forget.

There were the screams when Eric would try and pull out the hanging by a thread tooth.

There was non-stop chatter about being the first one to lose a tooth in her class-- only to remember that another boy beat her to it.

There was even made up songs about losing her tooth and getting money from the tooth fairy.

Yesterday, while eating a piece of bread (yes bread not even toast) she was suddenly screaming and running to the bathroom, her loose tooth now bleeding a bit as it was ready to come out.  One quick barely pull from me and she was tooth free.

More singing and dancing; more non-stop talking about her tooth and the money she wants, even asking to go to bed at 6:00 as she just wants to go to bed....

And of course at dinner she got the red plate.  We have one red plate in our house-- this plate is saved for birthdays, holidays, days where something great happens, or if someone just really needs some cheering up.

So to my Miss Alex, I am proud of you for losing your tooth in your dramatic, funny, entertaining style that very few could.

What is your Proud Mommy Moment this week?





P.S. Tomorrow Janette and I will be sharing our Heartfelt Acts for the month.  There is still plenty of time for you to join in and anytime you blog about it you can link up here.
