Happy and sad day...

[atroop711]

Today my son got his first tooth. It''s a happy day since my little 9mo old son isn''t a newborn anymore...but a sad day because he''s not a newborn anymore. He''s my last baby so that''s why this day is filled with mixed feelings. Tx for letting me vent

aw atroop..i''m right there with you. my son is 16 months and he''s my last baby too so each milestone is very bitter/sweet. yay for his first tooth though!

Lol awww atroop - it''s completely understandable! One of my girlfriends used to tell me that every time one of her kids reached one year, she wanted to put them back in her belly and start over. It''s hard knowing they won''t ever be little again!

aww atroop, congrats on that first tooth!!

i feel the same way haha i just posted in the newborn thread yesterday about J''s first tooth and asked where has my baby gone...all of these little milestones are so amazing and wonderful but also so bittersweet. i guess it''s just another reminder to live in the moment and enjoy every precious day we have with our little ones

lol that''s so how I feel. (didn''t like being sick part of it)

awww Atroop. Yay for the first tooth

. We''re on the third now at 10 months and my DD is just agonizing in pain. Fever and all the not so fun stuff that comes along with teething right now

Hooray for his first tooth, and hugs to mommy! Seems that it defies logic how fast time goes when you have kids..especially when they''re little.

I know exactly how you feel...school starts Monday and my 5 year old starts all day kindergarten, and I will be home with just 1 all day!

And to top it off, she still pronounces the word yellow as "lellow" which is so darn cute. But she was playing with my older daughters and some neighbors yesterday and they all came running up to the house and were yelling "look, we taught her how to say ''yellow''" and now she pronounces it correctly.

The older kids were so proud of themselves, but I was upset because that was the last little girl word that she said and now it''s gone.

I told my husband we should be foster parents since I know having #5 is out of the question...he justs laughs and walks away...I get like this every year the week before school starts.

And its even more sad when your little baby with all her little tiny girl teeth looses the front 2 teeth!!!!! There`s no turning back after that because those are the teeth that really mark the end of being little babies! I was so sad when I saw signs of wobbyliness. I would discourage any wiggling of the teeth.....but they came out anyway!

The face ages significantly when the front 2 teeth are adult. It`s so hard holding on to all the bits that make them our babies.

hey DT I hope the teething pain gets better for your DD. My son is just starting and he''s been waking at night crying out (NEVER does this)...so Tylenol is his friend

Aww I know EXACTLY how you''re feeling, My youngest daughter will start all day Kindergarten too this Sept. My older daughter will start the 4th grade and I''ll be home with one for the first time in a LONG TIME. I was looking at my 5yr old and couldn''t believe she''s 5. I look at my 9yr old and that freaks me out. She''s started to go through puberty and I''m SO NOT READY for that. Where did time go? My babies are all growing up. This is why I savor every minute with these delicious kids.

ITTA Sharon. My older daughter was the last to loose a tooth in her class...when she finally lost her first tooth, it was great but sad. Now she''s lost almost all of her teeth and I''m getting a hint of what she will look like as a teen. her face def. changed..it''s matured

thank you atroop- yes tylenol is our friend too

 

[mrssalvo]

atroop, I just sent my middle daughter off to kindergarten today. she was so excited to go, I balled like a baby on my way back to my car. My oldest is in second grade and I so get where you are coming from. I can''t even think about the mess I''ll be when I have to send my little man off to school in 4 years
