Bridget lost her first tooth the other day. I don’t know when it happened. I didn’t even know she had a loose tooth. Had I not been brushing her teeth for bedtime the milestone would have gone unnoticed.
I put her to bed, like normal. No mention of the missing tooth or the tooth fairy.
April is a month of showers, renewal and for Boo a lot of doctor’s appointments. This Throw-back Thursday I explained on April 1, 2013 why April is probably my least favorite month.

I am admitting to a snarky blog today. After the past couple of years I have compiled how I would really like to reply to some people.

It’s Throw-back Thursday. This post was originally published on 06-SEP-2012 after a wonderful week of company. But then I became an idiot. Instead of being warrior mom I was one who judged. A person I wasn’t too proud to be.
I have been blogging for about four years now. In my first year my friend Michelle at Big Blueberry Eyes began hosting the 31 for 21 challenge. Although Boo doesn’t have Down Syndrome she has a lot of friends that do. I have participated for the past three years and will do so again this year.
And this year I am starting on time, so bonus points!
