And in related news Carter has been sequestered to the naughty spot for the better part of a week now.   With no signs of reprieve, he might as well bring his blankey and Jack the bear down now and save himself the trouble of even going up to bed because odds are he will be returning to the spot first thing in the morning.

His favorite new phrases are "I know all your twicks Mommy" followed by my all time favorite "Wach you talkin bout Mommy?"   (no those aren't typos - that is actually the way he says it...charming isn't it?

How can someone with such an angelic face be so... evil?  He's just lucky he is cute!! ; 0)

Waiting for the Tooth Fairy...

Its official.... I have a big kid.  I knew this day would come but that doesn't make it any easier. What is the big life event in Jackson's life that has made me come to this realization you ask - well he lost his 1st tooth today!!  How can this be happening already? I'm sure that staying out late, girls and college are right around the corner.! I'm soooo not ready for this.  The tooth has been loose for about 2 weeks so I knew this was coming, but I am choosing to remain in denial.

He is so proud.  He lost the tooth on the way to lunch and as soon as we got to the restaurant he stopped everyone who would listen to tell (and show) them the hole where his baby tooth once was.  Ironically enough the first people we happened upon were 2 bikers who Carter admonished for not wearing their helmets but they were still polite enough to fein interest in my child's big news!

My Big Kid.

I choose to think of him like this - even though I know that he is growing up.
