What a strange night…the power is out all through Beaumont – the entire town and a great deal of the surrounding area in Leduc county as well. Consequently, this is going to be annoying. I’ll either have to switch to my phone, because obviously no power equals no wifi! Or I’m able to write on the app on my iPad, however I won’t be able to actually upload this post until the power is back on (I have no idea how long that will take!!). Of course this happens on the night before my middle daughter’s first day of grade 8 and my son’s first day of kindergarten.

And, for the record, I can hardly believe he is starting kindergarten (and part of me doesn’t want to believe it at all!!) We were cuddling the other day and I squeezed him tight, kissed his little head and said “Oh I love you my baby”. He pulled back, to obtain eye contact and said “Mom, I’m not a baby anymore, I’m a kid!!” And, yes thanks for asking, I’m still finding missing pieces of my heart scattered about… (did I already write about this?? I’m feeling a déjà-vu moment writing about this!)

Also, last week he lost his first two teeth. The bottom middle ones were just so so loose! Crazy loose, just seemed to be hanging on by a thread! Finally, the first came out last Monday night and the next followed on Wednesday.

BEFORE: (note, all the teeth are present)

 

IMMEDIATELY AFTER: (no explanation necessary)

AFTER: (two days later, the second one came out!)

And that’s my baby. Oh, wait wait, I’m wrong! It’s my “kid” lol!!

Hopefully one day I’ll get it right, or at least have fun, while about it I write!!
