Wide Open Spaces

January 4th was a big day for Faith Anna! She lost her first tooth.... although she is confused why everyone refers to it as "lost". "It's not lost, Mom," she said. "I think people should say, 'I kept my tooth!' instead." Beth has another affectionate way that she refers to Faith's lost tooth...she calls it her "open space". It's so funny to hear her say, "Hey Thaith...I see your open space!"





Pretty cute. She put it in her pink tooth pillow that night and the tooth fairy is the one who "kept" it! Faith didn't mind letting it go though in exchange for her first silver dollar...
I vividly remember Logan losing his first tooth a few years ago...and Faith Anna just doesn't seem old enough to have lost hers as well! Growing up too quick.



She also had her very first ice skating lesson from Luke's cousin Sydney...who most of you know is our resident family professional! They had a lot of fun out on the ice. Sydney is such a sweet young lady...so kind of her to offer to take Faith skating while she was home from college.

Faith Anna only lasted about 15 minutes out on the ice. But it seemed to have been long enough to make her beg me on the way home to let her take ice skating lessons! ha. Sydney told me that she started skating when she was six...so that's how we resolved the pleading. "How about when you're six, Faith Anna?" Good! 7 more months to think about that one... :)
