Aiden Goes To The Dentist

It was a day that I had been dreading for awhile...and thus I had also put it off for awhile. But I knew I didn't want to have a baby in tow when I took Aiden to his first dentist appointment, so I finally bit the bullet and took him. Since Aiden warms up very slowly to new things and is very sensory sensitive, I imagined the worst...something along the lines of a nightmare. However, Aiden did surprisingly well. He eventually refused to wear the bib because he said it was too crunchy and bothering him and wouldn't let them spray water in his mouth because he thought that was "gross." But other than that he was cooperative and well behaved. The staff was patient with him and he got a good report. So, all is well that ends well and the good news is that as long as everything continues to look good he probably won't have to have an actual cleaning until he is much older.


The wait got a bit long so puppy got his teeth flossed.


I'll admit, the wait got ALOT long....dental emergency or something.


He tried the glasses...


Sucked water out of a cup with the thirsty straw...


And, eventually tried out Mr. Thirsty on himself.


They finally got down to the important business of counting his teeth.


And he got a Tiger Toothbrush out of the whole deal, so it wasn't that bad after all.

Good job, Aiden! You look so much older and bigger than normal sitting in a dentist chair. Glad it was a success.

Apple Creek

 A new year, a new orchard. This year we tried out Apple Creek Orchard and it was a really pretty place. We picked apples, took a hay ride, and the boys had fun with the apple slinger. We were joined by Tom's parents and it feels so good to have them now living close by instead of far away.

Almost to the finish line.

 It's hard to believe that Aiden turns 18 in one week and walks through graduation in just one month. After more than a decade of homeschooling, 2 years of PSEO, and no less than one million moments that I'll treasure forever, my oldest will be an adult and graduated. Great things are ahead for my boy!

Happy Birthday, Cade!

 My littlest is seven and it's hard  not to be sad. We couldn't be without him, and we're so glad he's ours.  At seven years old Cade loves to do what everyone else is doing. He will NOT play by himself, and maybe it's because he's used to having someone to entertain him all the time. He loves legos and soccer. He also loves to read. I am ALWAYS finding Cade trying to tackle reading a book he probably isn't quite ready for. Lately he's been trying to read The Hobbit. While he's able to read all the words, he just doesn't have the depth of understanding to read it independently quite yet. He LOVES Tom Sawyer so he was delighted to find an abridged version to read.  Cade makes up his own mind about things. He will NOT be bossed around. He holds his own, so I don't worry about his brothers pushing him over. Cade also won't be pushed over physically. He is one tough kid. If Cade is crying, I know he is actually hurt because he never cries ove...
