$h*ts and Giggles: M&W

I decided it was time for a family trip to the dentist. I went on Tuesday, Miss M went on Wednesday, and Andrew went on Thursday. We started seeing a new dentist and it confirmed that we need dental insurance as soon as we can get it. Good grief the dentist is expensive - even with a whooping 20% discount.

They have a tv on above the dental chair for Miss M to zone out. It was successful. We learned she had a cavity and needed to schedule an additional appointment. I asked the dentist if she was ready to sedate the girl b/c I didn't see how this could go well. She said it would be quick and easy and they would just tell her they were cleaning one special tooth. She bought it. She zoned out to Jake and the Neverland Pirates and five minutes and $150 later we were back in the van.

I set up a marble game where the kids drop marbles through a cut up pool noodle into a bowl. It was a hit for about 5 minutes and then I spent about 5 days trying to find all the marbles that they played with. The marbles are now in hiding until I can find a sucker to take them.

Miss M is moving on up in the car seat world. I need her car seat for Kit-Kat and so I bought her a booster. I have yet to install it in the car b/c it requires her sitting in the third row. It also requires me to climb in the back of the car and buckle her in. I refuse to climb into the back of the car with a broken foot. So for now it's going to sit in our living room.

Big Willie and I went on a date Friday morning. I got a babysitter b/c he had a play date/get to know the teacher day at school. We ran to the post office and to the library and then to school. He loves nothing more than to play opossum when he gets in the car. He's pretty good at it and he's so funny and adorable when he busts into laughter bc he thinks he's funny. I did buy him a new spring coat since his 12-18 month sized coat wasn't quite going over the belly.
