Jewel lost one of her top front teeth. Seh was very excited so wanted to call Aunt Sara, Aunt Katie & Uncle Bill, along with both grandparents and our friend MIssy at 9:45 P.M. to announce the great news. I talked her out of it; ya'll can thank me later. The last time she had a loose tooth I finally held her down and pulled it myself (she could swallow it ya know-then no tooth fairy $); I threatend that procedure this time so she pulled the tooth herself. You would have thought she pulled the sword out of Excalibur. Anyway.. she is looking more and more like a grade schooler and less like Mommy's little girl. Oh and to top that all off. .she annonced to me last week she no longer believes in Santa Claus. So that was an interesteing discussion. .me trying to talk her back into believing (she is only 6 I still want her to believe), Christmas is more fun when at least one of your children believe in Santa, and my mortal fear is she will tell one of her younger friends or cousins the "the secret". She is/was adamant in her disbelief so there is a scent of youth evaporating from my youngest. I cornered Cannon surmising he might have "spilled the beans", but I believe him when he said he didn't. She believed less time than Cannon , but I think Cannon wanted to believe. It was fun for Cannon to immerse himself in the idea of Santa Land at the North Pole- he is a HUGE fan of fantasy where Jewel is into more concrete ideas and hobbies; dancing, crafts, shopping ,etc.
More later..
