First Visit to the Dentist!

I am so proud of my two boys!! They had their first visit to the dentist today and did GREAT!!! I was a little worried about how they were going to act because of the way they acted in the waiting room, but I have to admit if I were 2 and 3 years old and in a boring waiting room I would act the same.

When they first went back they were able to pick out their new toothbrushes and toothpaste then the dental assistant had me read them a book about Dora going to the dentist. When the lady came back in the little room she had Parker sit in the chair (which he did without crying!) and brushed his teeth with his new toothbrush. He loved it! After that I about had a heart attack when he let them use the dental toothbrush (the one that the dentist uses to clean your teeth) to clean his teeth!

Luke did a great job too. I think the fact that Parker was such a great model was good for Luke. He sat in my lap and cried for about 30 seconds until they gave him a little mirror for him to look in while they brushed and counted his teeth. He was more interested in playing while he was there but let them do what they needed to do!

I could not be more proud of my kids on their first visit to the dentist!!

Joy School

Parker started Joy School this month. I guess you could call it preschool but they deal more with how our body helps us with everyday activities, getting along with others, following directions, and the environment around us. Lets just say it has been a challenge. Parker is one of 5 three year olds and is the one having the most problems. He listens, but he has a hard time sitting still and not talking when he feels like talking. I know he is only 3 yrs old but so are the other kids. I just keep telling myself that Parker is a strong willed child. (Ha ha, we already know he is hard headed)

This week I had to go help out at school with him and after a bad day on Tuesday he did NOT want to go this morning. I guess he will be ok next week because I will not be there. He normally cannot wait to get to school to see his friends.

Luke on the other hand has loved to having to go to "Parker school." He would participate when he wanted and sit with me or roll around on the floor the other times. Luke likes to do what Parker is doing and he will follow Parker and do what he tells him to do, no mater what it is. Not always the best thing but they have fun together.

Lee has school on Tuesday and Thursday nights so I consider them my "long days" I am not used to Tuesday/Thursday and by the time I am he will be starting a new semester and his classes will more than likely be Monday/Wed. Lee is doing good in school, but has voiced on many days (everyday) how much he HATES his math class. He is getting to where when he comes home he will eat dinner, say"hey" to everyone then will go upstairs and study. I know it is for the best and won't last forever, I just hope he does good in his classes!

New To This!

OK so we are new to the whole blog thing, but....I know i am going to love it. I want to tell everyone about my family and what happens to them on a daily basis! In other words.....I want to brag ;o)

Give me a little while and I will be able post some pictures (as soon as Lee shows me how) and figure this whole thing out.
