Well tomorrow you start the first grade. I am so proud of you Brooke. You help Mommy so much and always try to do the right thing. You are excited to have Mr. Starnes as a teacher but a little worried because some of your best friends are not in your class. I know you will do great. We got to see your seat at meet the teacher and check out your classroom. You lost your front tooth yesterday so you will officially be snaggletooth for the first day. So cute! I am trying to talk you into being the tooth fairy for Halloween but you said you would think about it. One funny thing you said recently was , Mom I can't understand those people because I don't have Spanish ears. ha- I love it. You then told me you had English ears. You will always be my first baby girl! Love you -

Tonight Daddy and I took you by yourself to dinner and then to choose something you wanted. It is kind of a tradition we started last year when we took you shopping for school clothes without the other two. You loved it. We went to Ruby Tuesdays and then you wanted a pet shop so we went to Wal-Mart to get one. We had some other last minute things from Wal-mart we needed also. It was a special time without your sisters to interrupt you. We hope to do this every year adn of course with your sisters individually when they start school.

Today you and Landon were playing with the exercise band and it snapped back and hit you in the face, leaving a pretty bad mark. We went to the doctor and they wanted to do stitches but you wouldn't hear of it, so we settled on the glue. You were a pretty good patient when you figured out it wasn't going to hurt. I hated seeing you hurt like that. It made me feel good because I was going to have Daddy take you in and me stay with all the other kids but you said no, you would be scared without Mommy. That is about the best thing ever. I was happy to hear you still need me when you are scared. Sometimes I wonder if you are not too grown up but then times like those makes me remember you are my baby!
