Tooth #3

Emme had a loose tooth after her accident.  We were really careful for about 2 months and her tooth seemed to be getting better.  One day I noticed an abscess on her gums right above the loose tooth while I was brushing her teeth.  I brought her into the dentist and they told us that her tooth was dissolving at the root.  There was also an infection, which was the cause of the abscess.  It needed to be pulled.  Emme did great once again.  It was so much better after she had the tooth pulled.  She can eat what she wants now, and I'm not paranoid that she is going to knock that tooth out.  Here she is minus 3 teeth!

Flying Monkeys!

Emme LOVES the movie The Wizard of Oz.  We watch the movie and listen to the music all the time.  She also love the Wicked soundtrack.  One day she came up to me with this stuffed monkey and said, "Look!  It's a flying monkey!"  She said it was like the flying monkeys in the Wizard of Oz.  Funny girl!

Peanuts

We found out earlier this year that Charlie is allergic to peanuts.  We had him tested and his reaction was bad enough that we have to carry an epi pen with us.  This has really opened our eyes and changed the way we buy and handle food.  We have to be careful everywhere we go.  For example, I had the kids in a changing room trying on clothes.  Someone had dropped a peanut on the floor.  I just barely caught Charlie as he went to pick it up off the floor.  This has changed the way we do a lot of things, but it hasn't been as bad as I originally thought.

Here is what happens when Charlie eats something with peanuts.  We are lucky it hasn't been anything worse.

Emmeline's Ballet Class

Emmeline has always loved to dance and sing.  We decided not to do preschool this year, but I still wanted her to participate in some kind of social activity.  Ballet was a perfect fit.  She has class once a week for 30 minutes with other 3 and 4 year olds.  At the end of the year, in June, she will get to be in a dance recital.

She loves her class, her teachers, and the other girls in the class.  It is so much fun to watch all those cute girls every week.  We sure love our little dancer!

UVU Baseball Game

We got the pass of all passes this year, which included free grass seats for a UVU baseball game.  We couldn't pass up the chance to take the kids, so we went to one of the last games of the year.  They had a lot more fun eating snacks and playing in the bouncy house, but I'm glad they had fun.

They also had a lot of fun trying to hit baseballs.
