tooth

Cassie lost her first tooth last night! She is so excited and I think she was suprised how little it hurt. I was trying to wiggle it back and forth, it didn't seem too loose, but out it popped, landing in my hair! She (and I) were shocked that it came out. She didn't cry even after Jessica told her it was bleeding (the typical reaction to any sight of blood is the 'my arm just got cut off' scream). The tooth fairy paid her a visit and she is excited about her dollar. She was showing everyone at school today and said her teacher was going to sing her a song. Another step to her growing up too fast!

A new name

As most of you know, as we have had our kids we have given them formal names, ie Cassandra and shorten them to cuter nick names like Cassie. Well Jessie got a trophy from soccer which has Jessica on it. She is starting ot read some and came up to me confused as to why they put somebody elses name on the trophy. So I explained the situation and she seemed to understand. I went to make a new chore chart the other day and she says "momma, can you put my real name on the chart?" I said "your real name?" She said "yeah, Jessica. and can you call me that too?" She is sticking to her request. Every time I call her Jessie she says "mom, my real name."
