Bombshell is unstoppable regardless of the sport......

This week end saw the 1st game of basketball for Bombshell.  He was so excited to play and had done really good at practice, now it was time for the real thing.  His team, the red flames were against his soccer coach's son, so he was pumped.  Now at this age they do not keep score on the number of baskets but trust me, Papa and Bambeano do.

After about 11 or 12 baskets including some steals, Bambeano rose to the occasion, not bad for his 1st time at playing basketball.  I guess my neighbor Tammy, was right, he was set to play despite his height.

Enjoy some of the pictures

Not one but two....

Wow less that a week since the first tooth was taken by the the tooth fairy we now have the 2nd tooth.  Bambeano is now without his 2 front bottom teeth.

I picked him up from school and yet again it came out this time it was lost on the playground.  I reassured him that we could leave a tooth picture and that would be good enough because the tooth fairy know when all the teeth come out......

So here's to another tooth fairy visit tonight

We had a visitor last night.......

My baby Bambeano lost his first tooth yesterday while at school.  He was so excited which was funny considering the change of events from last Thursday when we first realized his tooth was loose.

Back on Thursday Bambeano was excited to show me he had not one but two loose teeth, his front bottom two.  One was considerably on it's way to falling out more than the other and I asked Bambeano if he wanted me to pull it out.  He responded with both hands over his mouth shaking his head, after trying to convince him it was ok and the tooth fairy would come, he still wouldn't have any of it.  Now don't think I am some sadistic mother I just wanted it to come out in the safety of home and also prevent Bambeano for having a full day distracttion by wiggling it all day.

Still no convincing.  Boo Boo appeared and asked us what we were doing.  I proceeded to tell her about the loose teeth and she was so excited she began to tell Bambeano that the tooth fairy leaves money when she takes the tooth........ Bambeano's eyes widen and asked her "How much?" she replied "Like $10".  I nearly died and told her I didn't think it was that much as the tooth fairy had to leave money for all the other children that had lost their teeth.

Well after this Bambeano excitedly turned to me and said "Get them out mummy I want some money tonight"  I tried and tried and it still wasn't budging, we continued over the week end and still nothing. 

Monday came and his teacher was aware of the impending loose tooth as I had emailed her in case he was distracted at school and in case it fell out while at school.  So yesterday I picked him up where he met me at the after school classroom door speaking faster than I could keep up waving a zip lock bag at me.......  I finally grabbed the bag to look and there it was my baby's first tooth.  We got in the car and he excitedly called Papa at work to tell him the news. 

The tooth fairy came and left him $5.00 he was so excited.  Even I was excited at the quick way to get him up this morning ready for school.  Even Boo Boo (who could sleep through an earthquake) ran excitedly into his bedroom.

So we took BooBoo and Bambeano to visit Santa and took the trip to a local mall south of where we live to see him and boy was he busy, after a 2 hr wait, trust me if I knew it would be that long we would have left but kids were dressed and excited and busy occupied courtesy of the guy in front LOL

Forgive me for the lack of news from the Bowden clan it has been a crazy ride.....

So we are now over soccer and onto Basketball.  Bambeano is enjoying his 1st season of basketball.  No games as of yet but he has enjoyed his basketball so far.

Today it was day of just mummy and Bambeano.  Boo Boo was on a sleepover and Papa had the day at work for a training class and what a really pleasant day we had.  We spent the morning at Lowe's doing the Build and grow making the cable car for his train he made last week with Papa.

 



After the fun at Lowe's it was time for some errands mailing Nannie, Grandma and Grandad's Christmas presents before lunch at Subway.

Then on to Basketball practice and Jack had so much fun......
