A Sad Day . . . . .

The family has been thrust into adulthood by the loss of something very precious. No, the children haven’t left home… yet. Kade’s lost her front two baby teeth, and just in time for Christmas. In two short days our baby’s all grown up. *sniff sniff*
We’d watched the Music Man, an old musical with little Ron Howard, who played a small boy with a lisp. Kade wanted to imitate him, and tried, to no avail, until with Tonya’s help, the front two teeth finally came out. Now she lisps, to the utter joy of Jost, who asks her to repeat an endless amount of sentences. So if you want to know what Kade sounds like, imagine Ron Howard with a lisp, and that’s our daughter.
