Big Kids

Today Jason and I had dentist appointments. This was the second one for him--last time the dentist was only able to peek into his mouth to make sure all was well. This time....the dentist EXAMINED his mouth, counted his teeth, and the hygenist was able to polish them with the little electric tool they use! I can't believe what a big kid he was.
I must admit, some bribery was involved. He really wanted to wear some of the latex gloves--which he did during the cleaning portion (he's been wearing them off and on all day-lol). And afterwards there was the reward of ice cream. Thank goodness his milk allergy has lessened to the degree that his body can handle ice cream every now and then. He REALLY enjoyed that ice cream.

Addie's big kid adventure was on Sunday after church. We came home and had hot dogs for lunch. While I was changing out of church clothes afterward, Daddy was still helping Addie eat her hot dog. When she was done she stood up in her high chair, said, "pee, pee, pee," and tried to pull her pants down. Daddy, being the Super Dad that he is, actually took her pants off, undid her onsie, and took her diaper off to sit her on the potty. (If it had been me, I would have been lazy and just put her on the potty with clothes on.) Anyway, she actually peepd in the potty!!!! I was amazed that she told us she had to go...and did! What a big girl!

Wow! I am impressed with both of your big kids! I don't even like to sit still at the dentist.
On another note, I think this tropical weather/ year-round summer thing is turning Jaya into an ice cream addict. And I rarely say no to ice cream for her because that would entail saying no to myself....
