Teeth, Toenails, and Tutus

My baby finally lost her first tooth.  It was much overdue because she already had two permanent teeth growing in behind the baby teeth.  At her last cleaning back on July 30, the dentist told us that if she didn't get those teeth out soon, he would need us to schedule an appointment to pull them.  He encouraged Allison to wiggle those teeth and get them out.  Finally, on Sunday, August 25, Allison let me pull her tooth.  We were all so excited!  Now she just needs to let me pull the other one.  It's more loose than the first one was, but she is not interested in letting me pull that one.

Sweet little smile

We spent Labor Day weekend at my mom and dad's house.  Bill helped Dad build a deck on the side of their house, and Mom and I took the girls to get manicures and pedicures!

Allison has wanted to take dance lessons for a while now and we told her she could start this fall.  Today was her first tap and ballet dance class.  And I forgot to take her tap shoes!!!!  She was so sweet and didn't mind at all, but I felt horrible.  I think we are going to really love these dance lessons.  The instructor was super nice and fun.  Allison had a ball and I am so happy for her. 

This picture was taken after we got home from her dance lesson.  She put her tap shoes on to show me what she learned.

Lauren is going to start taking Jazz dance lessons at the same place beginning Thursday evening.  She's pretty excited, too!
