First dentist visit

Leave a reply

I forgot my camera. So crappy cell pics will have to do. Kaylee was a total rock star. She blew me away. They hygienist was shocked that this was Kaylee's first visit. She really did SO well. She was super cooperative, followed directions, and asked lots of great questions. She is already asking when she can go back.

0918131011(1) Regan was not a rock star….. He was fine watching me and then Kaylee. He asked questions and was happy. And then it was his turn. "No fanks. I ready to go home now! It's not my turn. We all done!"  And then I went from Mama, to pin down specialist. I worked up a good sweat. And we all learned that Regan has a very strong gag reflex. No actual puke, but lots of gagging. IMG_2758

I asked Regan when we got home and my arms were no longer his restraints what he thought of the dentist.  And then I took this photo. Sums up his feelings quite nicely.

 

Meanwhile both the children seem to have my teeth and gums. Everything is coming in nice and straight, good bite, healthy gums, no cavities. YEA! I count our first family visit to the dentist a success as I was expecting both kiddos to freak out.

Grandma and Grandpa visit

Grandma and Grandpa came down for a few days to visit and go to a family friends wedding reception.

Joel saved our butts, and was ever helpful around the house. I am not allowed to use the lawn edger (some such nonsense about me losing toes….), and Jon in his current state cannot do the job either. SO best father-in-law ever knocked out this sweaty chore for us. The lawn looks SO much better now.

He also was our third driver/tier filler upper. Punk kids deflated a couple of the vans tiers, and that popped out a nail from one of them. So Joel filled them up and followed Jon to the tire shop to get the hole fixed, took Jon to work, came back over to the house, finished edging, waited for me to get back from taking Kaylee to school, then went with me to pick up the van and take it Jon so he would have a car to drive home so I wouldn't have to worry about picking him up after work. Longest winded sentence ever.

IMG_2605The children asked if they could go into the foyer and get their wiggle out.  GO.WIGGLE.IMG_2610The bride and groom had a PINATA! Hello. LOVE.THEM. I so want a reception do over so I can have a pinata. How fun is this?!

Preschool day one

We are doing joy school again. This is Regan third year doing pre-school. He loves it. I love that this time around I have more Mom's doing it with me. So far we have three kids and three Moms. I teach once every other week, and Kaylee is excited that she gets her one on one Mom time back.

Regan is SO excited that he has school just for him and not for Kaylee. He really had a hard time not being able to do school with her (They did 2 years of joy school together.) when she went to kindergarten.

Last year he had a bit of separation anxiety right at drop off. This year he all but flew to the front door he was so excited! He is having lots of fun, and learning new things. Best part is he has a boy in his class with him this year. He is no longer out numbered by girls. I really think that is his favorite part about school so far.
