Every Day Joys Part Deux

Over the weekend, my first child, Love, lost her first baby tooth. As frivolous it may sound, this was a real cause for a huge celebration. We did so with some of the activities she's been wanting to do ever since the summer vacation started. They were:

1. Watching a movie at the theaters and eating a ton of popcorn/twizzlers- watched Wall-E and loved it!

2. Went miniature golfing @ the Eisenhower Park

3. Play her favorite video game called Chuzzle (It's a puzzle type of game involving little fuzzy animals- real cute and highly addictive :P ).

But overall, this was one of those crucial moments in her life. She was so thrilled and "proud of herself" (I know this isn't quite the phrase I want to use, but I can't think of anything else) that she has made this achievement. But also at the same time, it was such a wonderful experience for me as well. Watching your child overcoming each milestone and succeeding it can be so rewarding. It was a good boost of confidence for her and I think she really got the taste of "accomplishing" something and the satisfaction that follows. And it feels good! I realize, she's growing up so fast and I better enjoy every day joys like this as God unfolds each of them so faithfully.

These are some pictures from Eisenhower Park- It's supposed to be the best miniature golf course in Long Island. It WAS really nice.
