Where does the time go?

Well, we had a first in our home today. Carter has been working in his first wiggly tooth for a few months it seems. Today, with great determination, he pushed on it hard enough to rip it loose. We jumped up and down, went and got his tooth holder (which he has had since his 1st b-day), and he tucked it away under his pillow dreaming of what will be in its place in the morning. I gave him big hugs - so happy for him. Off he ran to play... and then I cried..... and Kenny laughed at me and then gave me a hug. And here I am crying again. Man, these kids have made me a sap!! I guess I'm just realizing how fast it really does go, wanting to enjoy each moment, and realizing that my little boy is getting bigger. He is so much fun. :) Here are proud toothless pictures. One with just Carter, and then his proud brother wanted to join in the moment. Last, Carter at his 100th day party at school. Kindergarten is flying by!!

Aww, he is growing up! I will have tears of joy when that time comes for Tyson, too. Kinda gross to think Carter's been working that thing around for the last few months, though. :-)

Ilka! I'm having flash backs of that crazy picture of Tayven and Carter on the couch... where Carter is a new born and Tayven is 4 months old. Remember it? Carter beat Tayven at losing a tooth! Crazy... your post made me tear up. Now that makes me a sap right there with you. This time of life is so amazing, awesome and sad all at once. Love you friend.
