Stop Growing!

I say it to all three all the time. Stop Growing!

I'm joking for the most part... but I'd be lying if I didn't say I wish they'd stay little and innocent for a bit longer. Someone once said to me, the days are long but the years are fast. I couldn't agree more. There are days (more often than not) that I am exhausted at the end of it all. However I feel like I blink and my kids grow physically and emotionally. There little brains at work are amazing.

Which brings me to Josie... My baby girl has a loose tooth! Yes, the top left tooth. It wiggles just a bit. She discovered this last night at dinner. She said, "Dad, my tooth is sore when I eat." To which Billy wiggled and sure enough it started to move. While Billy proudly gave Josie a high five and Josie hopped up and down, I held back a little tear. I just kept thinking, how can my baby be loosing teeth?! (Don't worry, 24hours later I am embracing this milestone better).

I've also noticed another change in Josie. Lately instead of listening to Mary Poppins, Fresh Beat Band, Tangled on CD, etc... She started requesting the radio. She said she likes the variety of the radio. Which is a nice change as I'd love to hear some fun songs as I drive. But I also think she is loosing the innocence. She'll ask me what is this song about? Why is Taylor Swift sad? It's funny to hear the questions she comes up with.

This is what I meant for her to wear on picture day... I just wrote the wrong date down!

Josie, Ben, and Will's pictures at the dentist office. We went there last week right before the loose tooth.

That's my girl! Breakfast singing.
