mini-milestones

I guess they're mini-milestones to me because I know the kids are just going to be growing my leaps and bounds and I won't know what hit me by the time it happens. Anyway, JJ lost his 2 front teeth today. Jayden started preschool. Lucy is crawling and starting to learn how to walk.

JJ - after days of wiggling his teeth it finally happened. He lost his front teeth. Not just one, but both is 2 front top teeth on the same day. He lost one while he was in school. Then he got home and wouldn't stop complaining that the other one hurt. Well, quick thinking mom put some orajel on what was still attached to his mouth. Shortly after, JJ grabbed and yanked! Good job Kuya! I'm proud of you for being so brave and doing it yourself. Apparently JJ hadn't eaten all day since his tooth hurt. Well, the first thing he asked for after his tooth fell out was food, probably after the napkin to hold the tooth and the blood. Funny kid!

Jayden - Lucky me, I didn't have to work on Jayden's first day of preschool. So I was able to take him to school and pick him up. I'm hoping that it was going to be the first of many times that I can join him for his milestones. He didn't even cry on his first day. I was so proud. I don't think I've shared this with many and definitely not in writing... Jayden is our only one that didn't nurse with mom. Well, Jayden and I developed a special bond when he was a newborn. I thought it was fair that since Steph took care of the night feedings with JJ, that I should with Jayden. I'm glad I did it, but boy am I glad that's over. Now I get up in the middle of the night to catch other stuff... nightmares, upset stomachs, kids falling off the bed. Other parents know exactly what I'm talking about.

Lucy - well little Lucy is learning crawling and is starting to pick herself up off the floor. Sometimes she thinks she can walk, then lets got of whatever she's holdin on to. Then sometimes she falls on her nice padded pamper, and other times she falls on her not so padded noggin. She's a tough girl. She cries a little, wants to be held a little, then wants to try again. I guess she gets that from her mom.

It's my last week of school. I'm taking the summer off. So I hope that means that I can spend more time with the kids. I think the best part is that Steph isn't going to be going to school either, so we can all hang out together. I'll have to remember to add pics to this post and will hopefully be posting more often.

I love my CuriousGonzos.
