Enjoying the fruits of being a Durham, NC resident, the Little Missy went to her…
First Duke VOLLEYBALL game ~ September 2015
Followed by her…
First Duke BASKETBALL game ~ February 2016
Something tells me these three folks are related…just a hunch.
And…
GO DUKE!
The plight of the Summer Birthday Baby is real, people.
Birthdays come and birthdays go, but there are no school buddies around to celebrate with!
There are none, that is, unless you go to Triangle Presbyterian Preschool and Kindergarten (TPPK), and the sweet teachers there let you celebrate your 1/2 birthday with your class!
And bring your Mama along too!
The teachers at TPPK, like Miss Kathy and Miss Julie, are AMAZING. Seriously, people, God did something really special when He made preschool teachers. Like broke the mold, special. I could not do what they do.
It was such a fun day. We read a favorite book (“On The Night You Were Born”), made some neat artwork, and noshed on some delicious donuts. The Little Miss picked them out, so of course they were chocolate-chocolate-chocolate.
That’s my girl.
The Little Mister got to join us for the 1/2 birthday celebration, and chapel too. He was pretty excited about it!
(Ever tried praying with a 3-year-old boy? It’s a lot like trying to have a deep, contemplative moment while embracing – and trying not to drop – a big, wiggly, somewhat talkative blob of jello.)
Also exciting, the Little Missy’s pal, Samuel, and I got to bond over our love of all things DUKE. There were some gasps from the Tarheels and Demon Deacons sitting around the table, but we stayed strong in our Blue Devil pride.
It was a fun day, with the most fun 5 1/2 year old Little Miss!
My first baby lost her first tooth!
She was so excited. She even pulled the wiggly little sucker out herself.
She was excited, that is, until we reminded her (mid photo shoot) that the
Tooth Fairy would be coming this evening to take the tooth from under her pillow.
Then…not so much.
True to form (and just like her Mama), our Little Miss is NOT a fan of change.
Or of losing anything she’s especially proud of.
But…we reminded her that the Tooth Fairy not only takes the tooth away,
she also leaves a present in return!
So she may not like change, but our girl is also a Little Pragmatist.
And who can turn down a present?!?
And by “present” I mean a 1 dollar bill and maybe a few stickers.
Cause the Little Miss ain’t the only Pragmatist in the house.
With 19 more baby teeth to go, plus those of the Little Mister and Little Sir,
the Tooth Fairy and her Henchman Hubby are hoping to make it
a wee bit longer with some money left in their pockets.
That is, until the big bad Orthodontist Ogre arrives…
