sigh... november. for me its november 21st that is the doozey. last year on november 21st, it rained...nay it sleeted with fury. right. into. my house. a year ago i stood in my basement watching waves of water pour in through the doorway to a newly excavated cold cellar while i stood, 4 months pregnant, shovelling drywall and trying in desperation to save a few of our belongings. not a good memory. so that particular november rain...i have no love for.
this year the rain was different. it was my tears that fell and wet the ground in our home, as we dicovered little e's first teeth. sad sad. lyndon found them "um i felt something sharp"...no it couldnt be.... but upon further inspection there peeking out from the gummy smile that makes my heart hurt, two sharp little central incisors, stared back at me. i couldnt help it. i started crying...and lyndon laughing! i just cant imagine that she is growing so much. i want her to keep the little toothless grin that is so innocent and lovely....and now its gone. (to be honest im crying a little even writing this) i know i know its natural, its a right of passage, but it doesn't come without tears...from her and from me.
