Dakota lost his first tooth last Thursday, June 11th. His tooth had been loose for over 2 weeks. We were all very anxious for him to loose it. Hi finally talked his daddy into tieing some dental floss around the tooth and slamming a door. We did exactly that and IT WORKED!! The tooth bounced away but thankfully I found it in the carpet after David and I searched for it. Dakota was excited and the bleeding wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. He admired his new smile and already has the replacement tooth coming in. Emma had to get a pose in there with her big brother. =) A very exciting day for us here in the McGee household. The tooth fairy made her first visit to our home and left Dakota $3.00. A special treat we told him for loosing his 1st tooth. =)
Dakota is growing up so fast. His school called the other day to tell us the name of his teacher, when his open house will be, and a few other details about the upcoming school year. I can hardly believe my first born will be going to school in the fall (August 31st to be exact). We've been counting down the weeks and we are at 10 weeks from Monday. There will be many tears that day as I already get so emotional over just getting him ready for school. I know I'm not a mom cut out for homeschooling so off he must go. He has to grow up I know but the house will be so different without him around during the day. He is such a sweet boy but why does the growing up have to happen so quickly???
(A side note.... I have not been posting on here and sorry but it just hasn't been happening lately. Hopefully I'll be able to start blogging more often. I'm missing so many things I want to post but I just haven't sat down to post all of those things. )
