Dentist

Laurie is at the dentist today. She has to have her second crown. It is the same tooth on the opposite side of the one she already has. Apparently, she has cavities on the side of her tooth and it can't be fixed with a regular filling. They think it might have been caused by her use of antibiotics as a child when her teeth were developing. Poor baby! We are now using a fluoride treatment in the evenings with both girls. The dentist is hoping that will help prevent anymore. The good thing is that the dentist doesn't think it will affect the adult teeth. She goes back in February for some sealants. Just say a little prayer for her and her poor teeth!

The trouble with school...

I blame kindergarten! Truthfully, I really do. Our full size bed was enough-granted when the kids would crawl in the bed with us they would get on either side. Laurie with Jason and Aubrey with me-depending on who got up the earliest. Now, today...this very morning, Aubrey decided she had to be in the middle. Why you might ask? Not because she wanted to cuddle with both Daddy and Mommy....NOOOOOO-her excuse: "It has to be an ABA pattern. You know Big, little, big. And if Laurie was here, then it would be ABAB-little, big, little, big. Cause Laurie couldn't be in the middle, because she might squish me." Unfortunately, as a math person, I see her logic, and let her get her way. Now, we are both up. Jason is never phased by the events and keeps on sleeping. Sigh...I'm thinking it would still be the same if we had a bigger bed. BUT, I'm going to blame the school system for giving them the pattern excuse!

Back to School!

OK-I know...I haven't updated about Christmas yet, but I just wanted to tell a little story about Laurie. I promise to update you all on the holidays as soon as I get a chance! =-)

Aubrey was REALLY grumpy last night. She kept crying and saying she was having a bad day. Jason and I kept holding her and loving on her. I think she was really tired from everything. On the other hand, Laurie read yesterday for 100 minutes. She was reading the book "Frindle" and she LOVED it! Needless to say, we put the girls to bed EARLY. I think they were both tucked in a little after 7:00. We wanted to make sure we could get them up for school the next day.

Laurie comes in our room and asks if we set the alarm-at 3:45 AM!!! I think she was worried she would be late for school. When I woke her up a little after 6, she told me that last night flew by like a blink. I guess she was ready to go to school!

Both girls were ready WAY before the normal time-I wish I had that sense of enthusiasm to go to work. They were ready to go back to school, and I was ready for them to go back, too. I hope everyone has a great first day back to school!
