Wow, where has summer gone?! I've just finished up Tiny Dancer's kindergarten requirement appointments. She needed her 5 year physical (she did great, had to get 2 shots and one finger prick.. she wasn't a fan of the shots, but I told her 3 shots, so she was happy...oh, and she has grown almost 3 inches since Christmas... she's eating like crazy, so I knew there was a growth spurt going on!), a dental appointment (we haven't been in a while because our dental insurance changed then was cancelled, but I chose the only pediatric dentist our new insurance covers and it was a GREAT choice... no cavities, good teeth, bottom teeth are moving up so she might get some loose teeth soon, a little crowded, but we'll watch it), and an eye exam (she is borderline for glasses, so we have to take her back in about 9-10 months to be checked again to see if they got better or worse).
I have a mental picture of what she will look like when her big top teeth come in... it's pretty funny. The dentist showed me her x-rays which showed her baby teeth of course but also the big teeth underneath, which was really neat. You can see her bottom adult teeth moving up in preparation for pushing out those babies. And you could see the huge chompers she'll have up top. Poor kid. I had horribly big buck teeth when I was little.
Now that summer is coming to a close, I'm trying to fit in all of the things we didn't do earlier in the summer because we were taking advantage of swimming and laying around doing nothing!
We've been trying to do fun family things every week. And we have a major budget, so we do pretty good. We went to the NASCAR Speedpark at the St. Louis Outlet mall last night. Tiny Dancer, Little Monster and I rode a little ride together, then Daddy and Tiny Dancer did the go-carts. She loved it!
And last week, we went to the Drive-In which was absolutely amazing... just such a good time together.
Little Monster had a doctor appointment and dentist appointment when big sis did too. She had a finger prick at the doctor and got her teeth brushed at the dentist - she's one brave little 2 year old. The Baby has his 9 month doctor appointment this Friday and Dad is OFF so we are hitting up the zoo after followed by another bout at the Drive-In.
We can't get enough drive-in movies - $6 for our family to get in for 2 movies CANNOT be beat! :)
