Hump day update!

On Monday afternoon, the kids had their very first dental check up. Evan did well. Annabeth? Not so much. Evan was a little scared, but the dentist did a nice job getting Evan involved and showing him all his his neat tools. Annabeth wouldn't sit in the chair so we had both kids sit together. That seemed to work , but she was very uncooperative. The dentist got a quick look in her mouth and said her teeth looked good. He is concerned about a ligament that is between her two front teeth and he says that will need to be surgically corrected when she's about 10 or she will have a permanant gap there. Ummm...no! Isn't that nice to know that procedure is impending? Evan's teeth looked great! No cavities and no reason for concern. Our whole family goes back in June for cleanings. Yippee!

The dogs had their shots yesterday morning. Annabeth and I took them in and she was such a big help! She loved walking Georgia on her leash and seeing the little puppies that some lady brought in. Apparently, she's a breeder and she had 3 crates of new puppies. They were SO CUTE! She had some fluffly poodles that Annabeth thought were the best thing ever. The lady let Annabeth pet them and the pups seemed to be happy for a play mate.

Last night was Evan's parent/teacher conferences. It went well as always. I had a chat with Mrs. K about the Kindergarten graduation. He has photos tomorrow for that and they've been working on a huge production. I can't wait, but we both teared up talking about it. It will be so very bittersweet. He's on a reading level 9-10, which is awesome! Advanced is level 5 for this quarter. His writing is coming along nicely, too. He's on step 9 and step 6 is considered advanced. He's mastered all his skills and was extra proud to count all the way to 400! We're so very proud of him! He's come so far! Next week is the big benchmark test and they've been working hard to prepare for that. I know they'll all be glad when it's over!

My word of the month for March was INVITE. I feel like I honored my word. I invited people to events and most importantly, into my life. I tried hard to open up and be bold. I made a few huge steps. I volunteered to work on my MOPS Steering Team and was nominated for a board position on the PTO for next year. It was a good month for me. Bring on April!
