Tiny Talk Tuesday

Audrey (5) and Liam (2) keep me laughing daily. Here's a bit of what they said this week.

Daddy: Audrey, I am going away for a week in May.
Audrey: You know what THAT means?!?!
Daddy: What?
Audrey: I get to sleep in Mommy's bed ALL week!!

Liam's interview...
...because it's always better to hear a toddler speak 'tiny talk' than to write it...



Happy TTT!!

Pianist

Audrey loves music, and has quite the ear for it. It's a talent I'll never understand, and am amazed at her ability to sit and figure out any song she wishes.

She was inspired by Evan Lysacek's skating performance to Igor Stravinsky's Firebird, and decided to learn how to play it on the piano. Although I truly am excited about Audrey's talent, I post this simply to remember how she would spend her days at home...

Lost Tooth

The night before Audrey's 5th birthday she informed me that her baby teeth were going to start falling out. I wanted to ease her disappointment, that it might not happen overnight, and it might not even be this year. Within a couple of days Audrey wanted to know if her teeth were falling out yet. She opened her mouth wide so that I could inspect. I was fully ready to make this a dramatic, silly event, but before saying anything I noticed two white spots just behind her bottom, front baby teeth. What could that be?!?! I inspected further, completely forgetting my silly routine, and sure enough those were 'grown-up' teeth coming in. No!! STOP!! It couldn't be...she JUST turned five.

Several months later, she had her dentist appointment where she was informed that the two baby teeth will probably have to be extracted. Not even a month later, there was an ever so slight movement with one of her teeth. Whew...no extraction needed.

We are now a little less than a week prior to her half birthday (so roughly 6 months since those pesky 'grown-up' teeth showed signs of emerging). After enjoying breakfast, which was hard to manage with a dangling tooth, Audrey asked us to help her pull it. With the help of plyers the tooth came out.

So it's now official, Audrey's getting older. I can't stand it, but it's yet another thing I'll have to just get used to.

"I go uptairs now"
"I go potty now"
"Read Biscuit now"
