My baby's growing up

A few weeks ago, Steve pointed out to me that Noah had a loose tooth. I'm such a sap, I almost cried. And last evening, while we were at a movie, Noah gave his tooth a final wiggle et voila, it came out.

These waypoints sometimes give me premonitions of future days when Noah doesn't want a hug from Mama, wants me to drop him a block from his destination, and when the longest conversation he'll want to share is to ask, "Can I borrow the car?"

One tooth, one emotional trauma.

Unbelieveable! He is so advanced!
I completely understand about the emotional trauma - although I bet that Noah will always appreciate the hugs.

Children always need hugs from their parents, even when they ask to be dropped off a block from their destination . . .

I remember when, seems like yesterday. Still get hugs and kisses when I drop her off at school, at 10. Hopefully, it will not change.

Daddy reporting in that the one next to it is now loose too.
