Same old, Same old.

I have been very busy! School is nearing its end, mother's day is rapidly approaching and between gifts and running to the post office, I'm feeling a little drained. Triples are coming up next week at HT and that has me a little anxious. Who knew saving money could make someone so happy!

Sophia is doing wonderfully with her training. I now consider her day potty trained. We will need to work on night at some point, but I am in no hurry right now. She has her first dentist appointment Thursday May 14. I am not looking forward to that. I hope that there is some sort of built in mechanism that prevents cavities in children, I do not see how she could NOT have them with the poor gene's she got from us and her inability to brush them well on her own coupled with her insistence she do it herself, followed by her screaming if I go anywhere near her with the toothbrush!

Gavin is doing so well. He has a very contagious smile. Everyone he meets comments on it. He had to go to the dentist this morning for his first visit. He has some bleeding from his frenulum (? the little skin that attaches at your lip and right above your two front teeth). The dentist gave him the all-good. We need to get him in for a cleaning and such, but with 8 teeth (and 4 molars sprouting with some eye teeth teething) I don't see the need just yet. I will plan to do that late summer/early fall.

For those who may read my blog in Seattle: the kids and I will be in town for my moms 50th birthday late July through the 22nd of August, over 3 weeks! Shannon will be lost without us, but I am so excited. email me if you want to plan to get together-- dandyhendrick@gmail.com
