May 4, 2009- Erika got visited by the tooth fairy after losing her first tooth. It was a very exciting event! Mommy got to make the last move and pull the tooth out by tying it onto a doorknob with floss and giving it a good yank. Erika was soooo excited to find money and a note under her pillow the next morning. The tooth fairy let her keep her first tooth to remember it.
Erika got to perform in her first production- "Enchanted" with an acting group called "Up With Kids". She was cast as "Skipper the Penguin". She had four speaking lines and did a great job!! We are so proud of her! She put in a lot of time practicing every week for the play. She really enjoys being on stage and picks up the lines and music so quickly. It was so fun to watch her! Her grandma Parkinson surprised her by showing up right before the play to come and watch her. She made the 4-hour drive from Boise just for this and we are so grateful for her sacrifice! It was a special day for Erika.
