2 big milestones

The girls ave both had 2 big events this week. 

Sarah Elizabeth started ballet on Monday.  She was very worried Sunday night about her skipping skills because Grace told her she would be doing a lot of skipping in class.  In fact she was in tears because she could not skip she could only gallop.  I reassured her that Grace didn't know how to skip very well when she started ballet and that she would learn, but she was VERY concerned.
After class on Monday she was ecstatic.  The first thing she told me was "we didn't even do any skipping, only galloping". 

After her 1st ballet class.

Grace's big moment came tonight when she lost her first tooth.  She has been really working on it this week and tonight it was finally ready to come out.  She was amazingly brave.
As a mom there are 2 events that I have dreaded: potty training and loosing teeth.  Potty training went very well for both girls, so I am hoping I can buck up and handle the wiggling, twisting, pulling, and dangling of loose teeth.  Right now all that makes my stomach turn.
