Lakin's tooth

I can't believe it! Lakin lost her first tooth tonight. I knew she had a couple of wiggly ones but was not prepared for my sweet not-yet kindergartener to lose her first tooth. She is so brave. She wanted that tooth out so badly that she let Jayce pull it for her. Can you imagine?

Reading

I love that my children love to read. It is such a wonderful feeling as a mom and as an English teacher! I'm trying to continue to foster that this summer with summer reading journals. We just started them yesterday, but so far the kids love them. I ask a few questions in their journals, and they answer them. I respond to their answers and ask more questions. Jayce says it is like we are pen pals. How cool is that?
