Dancing in the street

When my children were smaller, I used to tell them a funny little story about the first day of school. I told them that on the first day of school, after all of the kids went to school, me and all of the other moms would dance in the street. For a couple of years I told them I got to LEAD the dance in the street. They eventually caught on, but it was fun while it lasted.


Here is Mark. Mark is so happy because it is the first day of school. He's happy because summer vacation was so boring, what with all the video game playing, sleeping in, and playing with friends all day. I'd need a break from that lifestyle too. Actually, he is smiling this funny smile because I said a funny word that he wasn't expecting.

See how studly Mark has become? It's his first day of Junior High and we have grown up so much. He looks so much older to me:( My baby! Speaking of baby; Mark had his dental visit and cleaning on Thursday morning. His teeth were all nice and sparkly white. No cavities either. He did have one small annoyance though, what with his newly discovered grown up personna and all. One last baby tooth. A BABY tooth!!!

Mark took matters into his own "hands" and had that baby out the very next night! I just had it cleaned! What, no more tooth fairy either? What am I good for anymore now?

Well, Mark had a good first day of school and just as I had predicted:



He was fast asleep on the couch within an hour of returning home for the day.
