Dillon Gets Real About the Tooth Fairy

I always sort of dreaded Dillon losing her baby teeth--such a visceral reminder of her growing up, shedding her little kidness more each day. Well, it finally happened. She swore us to secrecy, so I can't reveal how, but let's just say dinner time was quite bloody!

We had to triage with some cotton balls.

Here she is with her missing tooth.

By the way, Dillon lost another tooth about a month later. And was quick to point out that the tooth fairy wasn't real. Neither was Santa or the Easter Bunny. I guess that makes things easier...

Tie-dye Trio

Remember when the Gal Pals tie-dyed some t-shirts (read: moms dyed them for the gal pals) for their birthday? Before Quinn left daycare, we managed to coordinate a triple tie-dye day at school. Here's a little collage showing these best buddies through all the years of their lives!

It's been awhile since we've done a zoo update so here are some more pix from our favorite tourist attraction!

Dillon found some flamingos and a giraffe to hang out with.

Quinn is still pretty much terrified of characters.

Hotel Transylvania 3--Quinn's First Movie

Remember Dillon's first movie with BFF Millie? We decided to take Quinn to see Hotel Transylvania 3. While probably still a little young for a full-length feature, we'd watched the first two at home quite a lot so she knew all the characters. Plus there was A LOT of popcorn.

Spot the Dillon.

A LOT of popcorn!

First Day of School 2018

This year the first day of school was a pretty big deal. Not only did Dillon finally emerge from kindergarten, but Quinn actually joined her on campus at the preschool. We love a single drop-off and pick-up!

Had to get two signs this year!

Good luck hugs.

Dillon's drawings continue to be totally charming and this entry is the first time Quinn has a "school" project--working on her Q's.
