My precious granddaughter, Ally, has lost her first tooth. The tooth fairy was extremely generous - I guess even tooth rewards have escalated throughout the years. Another milestone, another first.
It makes me wonder if I can remember when my first child lost her first tooth? I remember the incident clearly, but sadly, I can put no time value on it. How old was she? What was the season? Why did I not enjoy these simple pleasures as they were happening?
I guess aging does bring wisdom. I have learned to treasure every event, no matter how incidental. Everything matters, but there is very little that is serious (grave). I do notice the changing colors of the leaves more now. I have seen more sunsets in the past 3 years than I have in my whole life. I take such pleasure in the prizes of our vegetable garden. I wait with anticipation as Mr. Wonderful changes the plants on the steps of our home to match the season.
In conclusion, I take note of life now.
Thank you, Ally.

Thing 1 is on tooth #4 but Thing 2 only has a little loose tooth (much to her dismay). Unfortunately, I too do not remember my children loosing their teeth. Time dims many memories but sharpens others.
OOF FAH
