Mixed Emotions

Yesterday we went to the dentist and got a clean bill of oral health. 

While we were there Sam's tooth, that has been very loose and wiggly fell out. On it's own ;)

I thought I would be so happy not to see that snarled tooth sticking out of his gum in all kinds of funky directions but I felt sad.

My first baby lost his first front tooth...

I sat up night after night with Sam, rocking and soothing him while he screamed because that same tooth was trying to grow in. 

And just like that, it's gone. 

No thank you note, apology for the trouble it caused or dear john letter. Just gone.

And it kinds feels like that tooth took my little boy with him, leaving behind this big kid....

Speaking of big kids.....

Our good friend Officer Battin...a police officer, sniper, and Hamilton County SWAT officer invited us to a police station open house.....

And it was awesome!

And today isn't back to the same old, same old.
