Can you estimate what we learned in school?

So my little miss six year old has a loose tooth.

  

Actually, it is beyond loose and it's only hanging on by a thread.

Literally - I can see the roots.  

Click, zoom, do what it takes, but there they are.

Two days ago, it was barely loose.

We were running a quick errand this afternoon and from the back seat this is what I overheard:

Clara: Daddy is going to be SO surprised when he sees my tooth!  He's going to come home and say, "WOW!  That's a loose tooth!"  And he will laugh.  Do you think he will laugh?

Silence.  Everyone else was reading or chillaxin'.

Clara:  Well, that's just what I am estimating.  Caleb, do you know what estimating is?

Caleb:  Yes.

Clara:  What is it then?

Caleb:  I don't know.

Clara:  Well, estimating is guessing.  I am just guessing.  I am estimating that Daddy will laugh.

Well, friends, my estimation is that this tooth isn't going to make it another 24 hours.

Back in the Saddle Again.

We started our homeschooling this year.

Our days are busy, but the extra structure seems to be helpful with the

end-of-summer-boredom that was setting in.

Somehow I have a first grader.

He is almost 7.

Fast, confident, and funny.

I also have a silly girl in kindergarten.

She thinks that she has to keep up with her big brother and she works hard to do it.

She loves to help her momma in the kitchen.

After years of saying she doesn't like peppers and tomatoes,

this summer she started to eat both.

Meanwhile, these two are quite the pair.

Luckily, they are cute.

The year of being two holds nothing to the months we've had so far of being three.

My heart stops just thinking about what the rest of the year will be like.

The kids are too fun together.

They laugh, cry, tease, tattle, and play hard.

All. Day. Long.

It is so fun to watch these little people grow and learn to love one another.
