Let's Talk about Teeth (a Hunter-focused entry)

Last night as I left the theater with my two neighbor friends, Kellie and Jessica, I checked my cell phone for messages from Mitch. If you don't know, everytime I leave the house for an extended length of time (two hours or more), my husband bombards me with picture messages and text messages and sometimes a phone call or two. Last night I received two picture messages and one text. Description to follow:

Picture Message #1: Hunter and Mason standing patiently at McDonalds- waiting like angels for their food and Star Wars toys. This might have been Mitch's reminder to me that he is "Super Dad" and can control our boys when in public. "Super Dad" is not in quotes because I'm being sarcastic. Mitch gleefully calls himself this anytime he does anything with our kids :).

Picture Message #2: Hunter, Mason, Carter, and Dylan showing off their muscles. No shirts! My boys have taken to de-shirting and running around the house shouting to the world how big and strong they are. This started a couple weeks ago. Watching "New Moon" yesterday only inspired them further. Yes, my boys saw "New Moon." It's actually pretty tame. You know, I guess I realize that I won't be taking any Mom-of-the-Year awards home for letting them watch "New Moon." It is what it is. I don't think it will hurt them if that makes it any better. If it does, I'll blame Mitch- he's the one who wanted to see it actually :)

Text Message: Hunter has a loose tooth!

Ahhhhh! My son is officially turning into a big kid. From my perspective, he just grew those darn baby teeth. And now they're just going to fall out? Also, I remember those adult teeth coming in- they oftentimes aren't pretty at first! We're in for a couple years of school pictures of toothless smiles! And just when Hunter is done losing teeth, Mason will start losing his.

He is growing up so fast! Have you told him about the tooth fairy yet? :)

We have lost 4 teeth so far-all were loose, but 2 knocked out. My son and your oldest sound soooo much alike! All boy, all energy!
