It is amazing how fast time goes by these day. It seems like just yesterday Kalysta and Makenna were babies. However, kids grow up so fast and they are no exception. They aren't babies anymore. They are little ladies with personalities all there own. In fact, two little girls couldn't be more different. Kalysta is sweet, sensitive, responsible and wise beyond her years. Makenna is funny, energetic, unique and playful. I love them both soooo much.The craziest example of how different Kalysta and Makenna are just happened about a week ago. Since her very first tooth to the latest one, Kalysta has had a literal "melt down" with the loss of teeth. She hasn't lost a tooth that didn't involve tears. On the other hand, Makenna was so excited she finally had a loose tooth. She let it stay loose for a very short period of time
. One evening last week she decided it was the night to lose her tooth. She set up "shop" in her bathroom equipped with a washcloth and cup of water. Makenna sat on the counter in front of the mirror pulling, twisting, yanking her tooth (all the while drooling and spitting blood). Kalysta of course was appalled that her sister was doing such a thing (to be honest so was I). Makenna had been at it for about ten minutes when I told her it probably wasn't ready to come out and it was time for bed. In one last ditch effort before she had to abort the mission she grabbed the washcloth and gave the tooth one last tug. Upon giving up the fight, the tooth surrended and was proudly displayed in the washcloth. A very pleased Makenna exclaimed, "Now I can get a dollar and go to the Dollar Tree tomorrow," complete with a bloody smile. This same scene occurred just a few days later because the tooth next to the first one became loose. Let's just say I have a feeling this is how she will lose all her baby teeth now that she knows each tooth has a monetary value!

I am very behind on my scrap booking and just don't have the time right now to get it all out and work on it. However, I want to share and preserve memories like these. Blogging. What a great way to do just that! Why didn't I start sooner?
That is funny! We literally have to pin down Macie and Drew to pull their teeth out - you would think we were abusing them!:) Madison and Derek are just like Makenna and will pull them out whether the tooth is ready or not!!
