Peanut is growing up!

Ok, I have several things bumping around in my head today so bear with me.

First of all…. This Saturday Riley told me his tooth was loose. Sure enough, his bottom 2 front teeth were loose. Then last night on the way home from church it fell out. He was so excited! Scott and Liv and Tanner were all telling him what a big boy he is now etc.
All I could think was………WOW.
My baby, my youngest born, the last one, just lost his first tooth. ~sigh~
I sigh because I know what this means. It’s the beginning of the “end”. “The end” meaning him growing up and not being my little peanut anymore. We got home and I took a good look at him in the light. I swear his face had already changed. He looks so much older –instantly. You know what I mean.
So, while I’m excited he’s a growing healthy boy. I’m sad. He’s officially not a baby anymore. But he’ll always be mommy’s little peanut! :)


Second of all…..on a completely different note.
I love to read. A couple weeks ago, I noticed a young friend at church was reading a book. I asked what it was and it turned out to be the book Twilight. I KNOW you’ve heard of it. Everyone’s talking about it because of the movie that was just released based on this book. And guess what? It’s about vampires! Well, I thought it sounded interesting. I asked if I could read it, and she brought it to me this week.
I read it over the weekend, and {guilty pleasure alert}……I really liked it.
It was very predictable in some senses, in others not. It kept me turning pages until I was done, and dying to read the next.
I can’t wait to go see the movie!
