Slow down. You're only five one time.

May 7, 2008 23 Comments

Oh Eddie, I know… You’re the one who has always said you can’t wait to be a grownup. You, my most kid-like kid. You crack me up! You’ll get there soon enough, but for now please just try to enjoy the things that will never come again, like losing a tooth and being the center of your brothers’ attention.

This afternoon we’re going to visit where you’ll go to Kindergarten, and I know it will make you feel like such a big kid, but honey, you’re five. Please live that up :)

    Great photo!

    I can totally relate too. My big six year old just lost his third and I'm still not willing to accept it.

    dang! does he know that he gets $$ for those toofers? my kindergartener has a wiggly tooth, his first, and he is very excited. but i don't think that he realizes that it will fall out and i just don't have the heart to tell him. i am sure that it will freak him out.

    good luck with the kindergarten visit.

    You know in that second photo it totally looks like he chomped on his brother around the eye first…

    The expressions on their faces cracked me up.

    Kelley, I know — that's the only part of the photo I don't like. Charlie had a little rash from his eyepatch, poor guy!

    My 5 year old is just desperate to lose his first tooth. Great photos!

    I love the redesign, especially that sweet little bar of colors at the top.ju

    Oh, that second pic is BRILLIANT! Bella keeps saying she thinks she has a loose tooth, but then she never does.

    I love those photos! I bet they'd be great in black and white too.

    I understand what you mean about them not growing up so quickly. Once they hit school, it feels like they grow up exponetially.
