The Toothless One-der

Ah, life. It sneaks up on you.

I was watching Piper doing her schoolwork today; she looked up at me and smiled. There's a hole where a tooth previously lived as of 10:30 this morning. She gets back to work and my heart skips a beat.

I'm excited, proud and sad all at the same time.

But since I'm more excited than sad for right now, you guessed it, it's time for the much anticipated pictures of

PIPER, THE TOOTHLESS ONE-DER

In all her toothless glory.

See the big one peeking through the gap?
Braces are in her future, bless her dear heart.

The tooth fairy pillow we made at 9 PM tonight.

My mad embroidering skillz...

Piper insisted she leave a gift for the tooth fairy.

There it is.....Mama's Bane, I call it. Yuck.

The stuffing of the tooth.

There she is folks; my wee little Piper D.

My heart bursts every time she does something "grown up". Where has my little girl gone? I still see her from time to time. But she wasn't there today. Today, there was a big girl, independently working on her vocabulary test and drawing pictures of moose with udders (oh yah, that's coming up soon).

I love you, Piper D...my original "Papoose", my little artiste, my Eeyore-lover, my little-girl-growing-up.
