And another one, and another one, and another bites the dust!

My boy lost another tooth at school!  This post is for Dad.  He asked me to put this pic. on my blog so Dad could see the huge hole in his mouth!  I guess I am on tooth fairy duty yet again.  We are running low on the gold dollar coins. Hopefully he will slow down here soon on losing all these teeth!

We just got back from school skate night!  Thank you to our dear Auntie Helen for coming with us!  I wouldn't have been able to help my boy without you there with the girls!  Tonight was an eye opening experience for me.  Last year Kent took B to his skate night and I stayed home with the girls.  I heard how difficult skating was for B, but I didn't realize how hard it really was.

Brayden was determined and gung-ho to go tonight and do it all again.  He didn't care that he was out there by himself clinging to the wall for dear life.  He didn't care that  almost EVERYONE was circling him over and over and over as he clung, walked, stumbled, and fell around the rink.  He DID NOT give up.  He didn't want me to hold him or help him, or touch him.  I am proud to say that he steadily got better and better and smoother and quicker.  He even did the race.  As a mom, I cringed behind my hands covering my face so I didn't have to watch him crash.  I just wanted to run out there and save him, protect him, or carry him to safety.  I was so worried that he would A) hurt himself or B) be made fun of.  He struggled and wobbled through and finished last, but he didn't even care.  I was very proud of him, and even more proud that he was brave enough and confidant enough to go do what he wanted without a second thought.  My boy amazes me and I am a VERY proud Mama!  I love you Brayden Goo!
