Reed loses another tooth

My goodness!  Reed has lost another tooth!  He is now missing both lower front teeth.  Cha Ching!

Reed lost a tooth

Reed is going to be looking for the tooth fairy tonight.  He lost his lower right baby tooth, and he is pumped. 

The Wetlands

We finally got everything loaded, and we are on the road!  Here we come Louisiana!  

In the middle of packing and loading, Ryland smacked himself in the mouth.  It was pretty bad, and there was blood and screaming.  He did end up losing a top front tooth, so the Tooth Fairy had to find him way out at the Wetlands.  I don't know how she did it, but she found him and left a sweet surprise.  $20 bill!  The tooth fairy must not have had change for her unexpected trip.

We all enjoyed being outdoors and spent a little time fishing.  It was nice to be outside and ride around in the boat.  Ryland reeled in a fish, and we saw a pretty large snake in the water.  Ryland also lost his other top front tooth today, so we had to send a memo to the Tooth Fairy, again.

We had a ton of fun visiting and catching up with everyone.  It was nice to see how everyone is changing as more kiddos are born.  The corn hole, skeet shooting, and beer drinking are still in full effect, but there are some more yard toys and play pins.

Reed was the ultimate frog catcher.  He loved tracking and catching these frogs as they hopped across the porch and patio.  He was very stealth-like and grabbed them quickly.  He would play with them a little while, and then he would let them go.

The inflatable water slide was a huge hit again.  Reed wouldn't take a break for a picture, and I snapped this one of Ryland as he ran over for more sunscreen.  They loved it!  Ridley threw a fit to get on it, but it didn't go so well.  She slid down screaming one time, and that pretty much changed her mind about the slide.

Ridley had a blast at the Wetlands.  She was a trooper and went along with whatever we were doing.  I did have some long, wonderful naps with her in the cool bunk house.  I love those sweet still moments.  On the way home, I picked her up this Cinderella drink when they boys got ICEEs.  She was so excited and held the bottle like a baby.  Too funny!

Ryland Loses a Tooth

Ryland lost his first tooth tonight, and he pulled it himself.  The Tooth Fairy will be coming tonight for the first time.  Exciting!

First Tooth

Ridley's first tooth broke through today!  Our precious baby girl is growing up so fast!  I took about a hundred pictures trying to capture her toothy smile, but I was unsuccessful. She was all smiles until I pulled out the camera. Stinker!

Tooth Fairy at school

Ryland's class was surprised by a super cool visitor.  The Tooth Fairy stopped by to talk to the children about brushing and flossing to keep their smiles healthy and beautiful.  They all got a new toothbrush and tube of toothpaste.  Ryland shared the message with us, and we practiced the new tips. He is very interested in teeth all of a sudden. We may have a dentist in the making - or a tooth fairy.

 

Reed's first tooth

We have noticed Reed chewing on everything here lately, and it was obvious he was teething. A few days ago,I felt around his gums and his lower two teeth were just about to come in.
While driving to Ruston for the weekend, I noticed his mouth was bleeding just a little. When I checked him out, I could see a beautiful little white tooth! It is official. Reed has a tooth!

A tooth is coming - we can see it

Ryland has been teething for a couple weeks, and we can finally see the tooth sticking through the gum now. He is chewing on everything, but he has been pretty happy. I have heard terror stories at teething, but it has not been that bad. I hope he continues to handle the discomfort. I will try to get a picture.
