Oh! On Wednesday, Joey had his first dentist appointment. The place that I booked the appointment had a three month waiting list. Three months! And when we got there, I realized why. The place was amazing! Joey was treated like a superstar from the moment we walked in until the moment we left. His hygienist was so good at making him feel comfortable with everything she was doing and was so engaging with him. I couldn't believe how well it went. Oh, and no cavities and perfect teeth! Yay!
My little superstar
The rest of the week just kind of flew by, with different activities includingggg tree farm, YMCA, various errands, friends house, Cubbies, Trinity Stay 'N Play, and lunches out because apparently I'm the incredible hulk now and need mass amounts of food.
Joey after Cubbies. He was running around and having so much fun with his little Cubbie friends (the name for the age 3-5 class) and I told him I was getting tired and that I wanted to go home soon and he said, "mommy! it's okay! you have a bed right here! See! It's really comfortable. I'll show you. You just lay down like this! There's a worm and a snake here and they're going to give you new cars from Cars!" hahaha it was so funny so I wanted to take a picture to remember it :)
This is Joey and Frankie every morning. I never have my phone out in the morning when I'm with them because we are always just playing together, but I wanted to snap a pic to remember what a 'morning in the life' is like right now, because this literally happens for an hour every morning. Joey lines up his trains or his cars from Cars. (Always one or the other) and Frankie destroys it while I'm getting their fruit cut up. I give her a container and something different to play with and come sit on the couch with a cup of coffee and the kids cut up fruit and play trains (or cars) with Joey. We mainly just talk to each other (as trains/cars) about our smoke stacks, boilers, fireboxes, wheels, paint jobs, or chug on 'shake shake bridge' (the couch arm rest). The couch arm rest became the place to play because when I was sick earlier in the pregnancy, I always needed to sit down on the couch in the morning, so Joey and Frankie brought the party to me. And it's been that way ever since!
Joey and Frankie together at Joey's morning class at the YMCA. Usually life is pretty busy and we make it to this class 2-3 times a week. (Next Step). I could drop Joey off at the class, but for some reason I don't think he's ready for it yet. Either that or I just plain old don't want to because I love watching him participate. There are a lot of other moms who come to the class with their younger one and stay, so I don't feel bad about it. It's a great class! And Frankie loves watching!
Trinity Stay 'N Play. (Note how concentrated Joey is). Some of my friends say that they don't like coming because their two kids always end up in different rooms (there are different activities in different rooms) and it's hard to keep track of them. Frankie wouldn't even dream of being anywhere away from her cool big brother, so I never have that issue :)
Joey and Ellie after Stay 'N Play. There's 1/2 hour of singing at the end of the 2 hours and it's really well organized. Joey loves it and there's a felt board with visuals for every song. We all went to In 'N Out burger after. It's our new tradition to do this after Stay 'N Play because there's one close by and I don't feel bad about feeding Joey a hamburger once every two weeks (Stay 'N Play is every other Friday). And the kids had a lot of fun!
Just a funny pic of the kids being wild with daddy last night! :)
And now it's the weekend! Horray! Stuart has a hockey tournament, the kids are getting babysat, and I'm going to an essential oil party at my friends house! :) Then we have a birthday party to go to! fun fun!
UMMM IS THAT BOW IN FRANKIE'S HAIR? precioussss as cannn beeee
