Last First Tooth

Our little girl lost her first tooth. She is our baby, at five years old. But this means that this will be the last first tooth in our little family, until grandkids that is. Once she realized that a fairy would be visiting her room to retrieve the tooth she could hardly contain her excitement. There was so much wonder about what the tooth fairy looks like, if she would take the tooth somewhere special and what she talks like etc... Not having met the tooth fairy personally I didn't have a lot of great answers. I have to say it is bitter sweet. A lot of last, firsts will happen when it comes to Adelle. Being the baby in the family, that is her lot in life. She will start kindergarten in a month yet another last, first. It does make me feel old and sentimental. I love the memories.

Accordian Cat

Since ShoeShine, our cat, was a baby Shae would do this song he made up:

Accordion Cat, Accordion Cat,
First he's fat
and then he's flat,
Accordion Cat.


This makes us all just laugh so hard because while he does it he squeezes the cat in and out like and accordion, and shoeshine just sits there in his hands like it is no big deal. I know it looks like in the picture he may be yowling at Shae but he was actually just looking up at him.

One other silly thing, Adelle loves to dress him up in doll clothes. Cora was a little worried for the poor guy. But, Shoeshine didn't seem to have any problems with his dress, at least for a few minutes. I had to get a couple pictures of this too. Poor Shoeshine, thank goodness we got him when he was so little and he has grown up being handled by the kids. I am sure most cats would not put up with being put in a dress and used as and accordion.
