Warning: Cute feet in little socks!
She likes them! And they fit! While I was finishing them, I let Kate play with my camera. See her photos here.
Don’t think that Jane is going to be left out. She has already chosen her yarn. And yes, it is variegated, too.
The tooth extraction was successful. Pliers were used. Kate is one brave girl! She put her tooth in an envelope to stick under her pillow. She said, "Goodbye tooth. Have fun with all the other tooths in toothland." This morning she found $5 under her pillow – the same amount Jane got for her first tooth (which I completely attribute to it being lost on Christmas Day and the tooth fairy feeling very generous). She also told me she saw the tooth fairy! Apparently she has blue hair and rides a pegasus. Who knew?
Jane’s reading was a great success! I am super proud of her. She got up to the microphone and didn’t waiver a bit. As for me, I got a bit teary (sniff). She’s growing up so fast.
congrats to Kate! What a big day, indeed!
Tell Kate, she is a super photographer!
Hooray to both of your girls!
blue hair and rides a pegasus….I would like to see that! That was one great day for the house on hill road!
those socks look so cute! I’ve yet to travel down the road of sock knitting…but it looks so fun. my problem would probably be finishing one and never getting to the second!
i almost got teary ready about your get teary! how sad is that?
and kate is so cute!
(and how sad is my fast typing and lack of proof-reading? sorry…)
abby happened to be at grandma and grandpas house whne she lost her first tooth and the grandmas house tooth fairy slipped her a 20. good grief! i remember when a quarter was as good as it got! started a tradition. can’t wait till parker loses his first (sigh). so grown up so fast.
aww, so cute! i love her rendition of the tooth fairy. i think i only ever got a dollar. inflation!
Your girls are so cute! The sock look great and Kate takes great pictures, including of those nice green shoes you had on. :0)
Great socks! And a talented little photographer.
Move over Annie Leibovitz 🙂
The girl has talent!
wow. When did the tooth fairy change her hair colour? Last time I saw her she was sporting a pink ponytail and got around on an electric toothbrush dishing out quarters. Can’t wait to see her again!
This is officially the cutest post that I read today! The socks look great, and the photos are teriffic. I’m glad that you commented on Jane’s reading, too. My class has a performance coming up as well as a little publishing party for some biographies we’ve been working on, and I can’t wait for the parents to see it all. I love hearing about sweet reactions like yours.
Kate is one brave girl. No way I would let a pair of pliers near my mouth. Love the photo of her showing off her socks. She’s so darn cute!
My middle girl looks exactly like Kate at the moment, inlcuding the big teeth at the back. She was too terrified to let any of us near her and eventually it fell out in her mouth (much to her horror) while I was driving in the car. Thank goodness big sister was able to grab it and give her a tissue to mop up the blood! She then refused to look in the mirror at the gap! Thankfully a visit from the tooth fairy and $2 helped her realise that it’s not so bad after all! Love the socks – they look so comfy and pretty!
Well done socks! Can’t wait to see Jane’s.
Congrat’s to Kate on “loosing” (do you call it that when pliers are employed?) her first tooth. I wonder if her tooth fairy jibes with what Lola saw? I’ll have to ask.
oh man – she let you go in there with PLIERS???!!!! i missed this story … remind me to tell you about annabel’s most recent tooth fiasco if i haven’t already!! brave kate. ps – on that cute skirt … how hard is that? could i make it? be honest.
