Toothless George

It finally happened! During dinner the other night Ksenya started crying because her front tooth hurt. I had started getting concerned because her gums had started turning purple. She came over to have me look at it and I said, "count to 10". She started counting and I gave it a little tug and by 3 she had a tooth in her hand, tears on her cheeks and a big toothless grin.

I can't believe how much she has grown! She comes up to my armpit already and Daddy's teases that she'll outgrow me before middle school. She is a gangly thing, all legs and a little clutzy like her mother. Her hair is also growing and this morning she told me she wants to grow it and give it to a little bald girl. She makes me laugh and is a wonderful helper.

Oh my goodness. She is up to your armpit! It is time for drastic measures. The only choice you have is to stop feeding her, sorry.
