He Lost His First Tooth!

Luke lost his first tooth already, just one month after turning 5!  He got his teeth really early, so I'm not sure if this might be why he lost the first teeth so early.  There is already 2 adult teeth coming in behind the two bottom front teeth.  The dentist hold to us that his bottom front teeth were a little loose last month at his cleaning, but I didn't think anything of it!   On Saturday we were watching Beethoven's 2nd on TV and he said my tooth is really wiggly!  I felt it and it was hanging by a thread, and the one next to it was really loose too!  We let him go the rest of the day with it hanging there, and got him all excited about the tooth fairy.  So that night he let me pull it the rest of the way.  We put it under his pillow and when he woke up there was a special 2 dollar bill under his pillow!  He will probably be getting another visit from the tooth fairy in a day or so when the other one comes out! 

Here's the silly missing tooth boy!

Preschool Graduation!!!

Luke graduated from preschool Friday night!   We are so proud of him!  The school did a wonderful job making the graduation special for the kids and for the families!  They wore cap and gowns, sang songs, Pastor had a small sermon, they handed out the diplomas, and then there was a tear jerking DVD played.  As they got their diplomas their teacher announced the answers to two questions the kids had been asked earlier, when it was Luke's turn Miss Denise said "Luke wants to be just like his Daddy when he grows up, and he is excited about Kindergarten because Ryan will be there! (Ryan is his friend from preschool!)  I started to cry, because it was so sweet he wanted to be Daddy when he grew up, most kids said firefighter, rock star,princess, one little girl even said a Buffalo Wild Wings waitress, everyone got a good laugh out of that one.  By the end of the graduation I was sobbing, because the DVD was so sweet and pregnancy hormones don't help!  Luke has come a long way since the first day of preschool (we sent him at 4 for the first time), he cried every day after we left for a while.  Now he loves school! I would recommend Shining Lights Preschool to anyone, it is a great program! Now it is time for a fun filled summer break, and then on to Kindergarten!

Luke's First and Last Day of Preschool!

 

What a difference 9 months makes!  He grew and learned so much!  I'm proud of my little guy!

Me and Rob's 10th wedding anniversary!

Rob and I had our 10th wedding anniversary on May 4th!  We've come a long way since we were those two 20 year old kids.  We had a great night out we went out to dinner at Station 220, and then went out for dessert, we came home and watched a movie we rented.  The kids stayed the night at Mimi and Papa's and had a blast!  I love you Rob and can't wait to have many more anniversaries with you! 

Luke's McDonald's friend party!!

Luke wanted a friend birthday party for the first time for his 5th birthday party!!  My sister had told me that McDonald's was free to rent the party room, so we decided to have it there!  Luke loved the idea!  Of course it was a Batman themed party!  We had lots of his preschool friends there and his cousins, except for Ellen who was sick!  We had cake, ice cream and juice boxes and the kids played like crazy on the play land!  I think his first friend birthday party was a big success!

Luke Stephen is 5!!

My little boy turned 5!!!  I just can't believe it!! Has it been 5 years ago that I was induced on Friday the 13th, and now it's Friday the 13th again on his birthday! He had a wonderful 5th birthday!  Rob and I took the day off and took him out to Chuck E. Cheese's to play games, then to Popeye's for lunch, to the comic book store for his first time, and then had Mimi, Papa and Uncle Matt over for dinner!  He had a great time.  His obsession right now is Batman, and he got a lot of cool Batman stuff for his birthday, and with his birthday money at the comic book shop.  For dinner we had cheeseburgers on the grill (his favorite food is cheeseburgers) along with some yummy side dishes and funfetti cake!

Luke's preschool party!

Gabby and I came to Luke's preschool to celebrate his birthday snack time!  We got Batman cookies from Denny's Doughnuts for his snack!  Gabby got to sit with the kids to eat snack (I had to bring her an egg free treat), but other than that she was in heaven sitting there with the big kids!  We then stayed for Luke's show and tell, and rehearsal for preschool graduation (tear).  All the little girls were crowded around Gabby, which she loved!  It was so fun to come to Luke's birthday snack time, and adorable too!!

Happy boy!

Hard to get a picture without a silly face with this boy!
