Minus One Pearly White

A rite of passage occurred in our home today; Little Mommy lost her first tooth. Amidst fanfare, tears and finally excitement, the pearly white exited its comfy home and arrived safely in her palm. Wonder of wonders.

It was the first of many firsts; and the first of many 'lasts' for Mommy. Oh, to be less emotional these days. It seems I'm inundated with emotions I do not remember feeling. Anxiety is not my friend. Fear is the opposite of faith. Stress is debilitating and unwanted.
