Wrapping Up SK: Pedis, Darby, and the Tooth Fairy #5

HG graduated SK on Thursday, May 21st, so on that Tuesday, I surprised her with lunch at school. They got to eat in the big cafeteria that day too, so the excitement was HIGH. She had an extremely loose bottom tooth, so I took her chicken pot pie soup which is all she was really eating at that point, other than mashed up bananas. She ate it up!

After school, HG and I went to get manicures and pedicures to celebrate the end of the school year. She’s not really allowed to have fingernail polish at school, but we figured it was close enough to the end of the year that it would be ok. And it was light pink! She picked green for her toes in honor of our upcoming trip to Ireland. She has always loved getting her nails done, but for the first time, she put her feet in the water, enjoyed the massage chair, and let them pretty much do everything that comes along with the pedicure. I was impressed!

After we got our nails done, I had to stop at Whimsy Cookie to place an order for a party. HG was really sad that she couldn’t eat a cookie because of her loose tooth, so I told her we could buy one for her to eat later in case her tooth fell out soon. She opened her mouth to show me her tooth, and it was literally hanging out. We went to the bathroom, and my brave girl gave it a tug or two and it came right out!!!! Man, we had a big celebration in the Whimsy Cookie bathroom, and she wolfed down that strawberry gooey cookie faster than I’ve ever seen her- poor girl was HUNGRY!

That night, we celebrated Aunt Di’s retirement at a reception at the Dixon Gallery, which meant some good quality time with little Miss Darby. We were ALL happy about that! HG also had a big time exploring the gardens and lily pad pond, and with the help of Granddaddy and Spiffer, she came face to face with a big ole frog!
