He's not a baby anymore

Much as I would love for him to stay little, I know he's getting bigger and will continue to do so. He's going to school at the "Big School" now, likes to eat with the big silverware and will be 5 in about a month. And this last week he lost his first tooth! At first I couldn't see the new "big"tooth but after the gum healed the top of the new one is visible. I realize he's huge anyway but this makes him look even older. It makes me a little sad as this is just one more thing to show me he's not a baby or even a toddler anymore. He is a definitely a little boy and growing way too fast.

Proudly showing the $2 bill the tooth fairy left him!

Pretty generous of the tooth fairy I thought!
