First Dentist Visit

I finally took Macey to the dentist..actually it was a family affair, we all 3 had appointments. Vince saw the whole thing, I was in another chair, so I just saw parts. They told me with kids' first visit, the goal is to just get them used to the chair, and they will proceed only as far as the kid will let them. Macey was awesome! She was very excited, she got x-rays, a cleaning, and the fluoride treatment. Everyone was very impressed. Macey said it was a lot of fun. Lindsey, the hygienist is great with kids, Macey really liked her. Dr. Seidler said Macey has perfect teeth. :) Whew, what a relief.

Homework already!?!

Yes, can you believe it? Macey already has homework...in Pre-K. They call it 'optional homework', but I'm sure if we don't do it, we look like the bad parents. I am already getting a feel of what school will be like with her. She does not like to make mistakes, and this makes 'practicing' her lettters and numbers emotinal at times. I asked her to trace her letters while I take a shower and then we will practice them when I get out. Well a minute later she comes running in the bathroom with tears just pouring down her face: 'I messed up Mommy, I can't do it'; I looked at her paper and she had written her B backwards, but OMG so much emotion...elementary school is going to be fun!

Nice weather today.

We are loving these 60 - 70 degree days, but dreading our 'cold' fronts that are about to come thru. Here's a look at what our dogs have to put up with. Maggie definitely deals with having a kid that likes to dress her up. Sage on the other hand does not put up with it, she just runs outside...poor girls, they really used to have the life, walks every night, trips to the dog park, and many many car rides. They barely get to leave the house anymore.
Also a few pics of Macey on her swing today...she is an awesome 'pumper' now...makes her dad very nervous because of how high she goes.
