Nathalie is my daughter. When she started her adventure into elementary school, I thought I should start recording my thoughts before they fluttered away with the rest of my memory.

Loose tooth and a Christmas list.....

Dear Nathalie,

Well, you did it. You lost your first tooth.....yesterday it was loose and today, it was gone. It fell out while I was at work. I was quite relieved when you explained to me that the Tooth Fairy changes teeth to coins, as I've heard kids are getting bills these days. I tend to think at the age of five bills are completely unecessary. So, coins it is!

In other news, you made your Christmas list tonight. I'm posting a picture because it's one of those things I don't want to lose but probably will. I made you sound out all the words yourself, which you weren't too happy about. It's so much easier when people tell you the right letters, but you have to do it on your own sooner or later. I enjoy the simplicity of your list, you told me originally you only wanted free(three) things but added one more because that feather hair barbie is so cool.

These past couple of days you've changed again. There are moments that I stop and think, where in the hell have the last five years gone? My baby lost her first tooth and she's writing her own Christmas list. Time moves so fast, dear Nathalie. Slow down.

Love,
Mom
