Tooth update

Well looks like Gracie will be loosing her two front teeth sooner than I thought! When she was a baby she bumped her front tooth on something and it has always been a little discolored. Well now it is infected, I took her to the dentist yesterday. He suggested that we pulled BOTH her two front teeth. He said it would look better to pull both of them and they would grow back straighter since they would be growing at the same time. So Wed. the 6th we are pulling them. She will start school with snaggle teeth! I'm not looking forward to it at all! The dentist said he would give her some gas and then numb it. So the tooth fairy will be visiting us next wed night! Don't worry I'll post a picture. He said it would take like a YEAR for them to come back in!!!!AHHHHHHHHH o no!!!!

1st loose tooth

Well we have our 1st loose tooth! It is in the front on the bottom. Actually we have two, one of the top too but it is not near as loose as the one on the bottom. She keeps wiggling it so maybe it will come out soon. She is excited about the tooth fairy. Hm, how much is the tooth fairy worth these days? I used to get a quarter, I'm sure that is not the case anymore.

Only 12 days left!!!

OK this is getting serious! We only have 12 days left!!! Mommy is not doing well.... We did find out who her teacher is and it is the one that I wanted. Mrs. Julie Sheffield. We got to church with her so that is really good. She is sweet and I know Gracie is in good hands with her.

Just have to share this... last Sunday in Church our sermon was about prayer and how we should pray. One of the examples was how children pray. They pray so genuinely and honestly. I knew EXACTLY what he meant! Dad and I looked at each other and started laughing. When Gracie Ann is asked to pray at the table she looks around and thanks God for everything in sight. Including the plates, forks, the sunshine, and the whole world. She would go on as long as we would let her probably. He gave some examples of how little kids pray but I must tell you all of one that my little Gracie Ann said. Sunday night, as we always do we said "Now I lay me, down to sleep..." I decided to ask her if there was anything else she wanted to pray for, well.... after about 2 or 3 minutes of pray for everyone she could think of and the birds, trees, supper, and Mommy letting her watch tv longer she said... "O yeah and Dear God I want to pray for: Mommy what's that man's name that's our cousin at school?" I said Mr. Kevin Brown?"(we had been talking about school again that day) she said. "Yeah that's it, Dear God I pray for him and that I don't get in trouble cause I don't want to go to his office. Amen" It was SO cute!

Momma Mac took Gracie Ann shopping for school clothes. She has her on style that she likes for sure. They got some really cute outfits. I found some great deals at Target on some summer stuff and since it stays hot until Thanksgiving I thought what the heck. She loves all of her new clothes, we even had a fashion show on Friday. She tried a lot of them on and modeled them for me. We also have the backpack. We are going to use the one that Aunt Cassi and Uncle Casey got her for Christmas. It has her initials on it so it is perfect.

New Video

Well look what I figured out how to do, pretty cool. These are a lot of Gracie Ann's pictures from the summer so far. Hope you all enjoy!

What?

Good Morning Everyone!
I started this site cause I want to keep everyone updated on things that Gracie Ann does during her year in Kindergarten. I try to e-mail everyone pictures, but sometimes I forget people and this way I won't do that. Plus I only have to do it once. So.... her goes....
As part of her "big school orientation" process I created her a "Count down to Big School Calendar". She kept asking "Mommy, how many days til big school"? So I made her a calendar and she gets to mark the days off the calendar each day. So on this day 17 days before big school starts we are off and running! We have been to the school and taken a tour. She was excited but seamed like, "What's the big deal?" We have also bought school supplies. She has taken all the pencils out and put her erasers on them (she didn't even know what an eraser does, but she had to have them.)
I have found someone to keep her afterschool. She goes to church with them and the lady has a little boy that will be in Gracie's class. She will ride the bus to her house then I will pick her up after work. She is excited.
