All I want for Christmas...

On the 6th of last month, Addison lost her third tooth.

Then, on the 23rd, Addison came up to me with a big smile on her face, and a crooked tooth in her mouth.

The next day, that little baby came out too.

If she keeps this up, she's going to be eating nothing but smoothies for a while.

I'm secretly hoping the other one doesn't start growing in until January.  As I recall, when I was about 6 years old, all I wanted for Christmas was my two front teeth too.  :)

Did I mention she is growing up?

On Tuesday, when she was getting ready to go to preschool I mentioned she should probably wear her tennis shoes instead of her boots because it wasn't going to be very cold today.  When I sensed some reluctance, I told her I'd help her tie them, to which she responded, "No! I want to tie them myself."  So (after I shared a few pointers with her) she did.









I started thinking about all the things she can do by her self now.  She can shower by her self, choose her own clothes and dress herself, brush her teeth, make her bed, clear her dishes, make her own peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, sweep the floor, clean up the toy room, vacuum and I think I could go on and on.  Seriously.  Wow.  It just hit me that my little girl really is becoming her own little person.  I know that's the goal, but I didn't expect it to happen in such leaps and bounds!  I sure am proud of you Addison!
