Leaf Party

The weather warmed up a bit yesterday, and the leaves in the front yard were just too much for the kids to resist.

They ran around,

tossing crunchy leaves in the air.

They had so much fun playing in the Autumn wonderland.

Warm Autumn afternoons are the best!

Thade’s Yellow-tip Belt

Thade has been working very hard, and he was focused on moving up a belt in Tae Kwon Do. On Thursday, he was ready to test.

He passed his form,

and did a great job on his one steps too.

He was so thrilled when he earned his yellow-tip.

We are so very proud of our big kid Thade.

Soccer Take Two

This weekend the weather is so much better, and we had games on Saturday and make up games on Sunday too. The kids had a lot of fun, and it was great to spend the day out in the pretty Fall weather.

Dylan’s game was up first.

He broke in his new cleats,

and he even got to be the goalie too.

Thade was ready to play,

he was excited when he got to be the goalie too.

I have to run, and head to Thade’s make up game. It’s going to be another Soccer filled day.

Dentist Visit

I’m a worrier when it comes to the dentist, yep I’m a grown-up who is deathly afraid of the dentist. I know it is silly, but it is true. I’ve been afraid of the dentist for most of my life, and when Thade had a cavity, I was worried for him too. I was determined not to pass on my fear of the dentist to my kiddo though, and make his first filling visit go well.

He had a check up earlier in the month, and the dentist said that we wouldn’t have to see a specialist, and Thade said that he felt o.k. getting the cavity filled. He was a little nervous though, and I tried my best to put his mind at ease. I even told him that he was part of the “cavity club” it’s the cool club that gets to visit the dentist. Both his mom and dad are members too.

We talked a lot about the upcoming appointment. I did my best to answer any questions that he had.

When the day arrived he was really worried, but I got to go along with him. We had an awesome dental hygienist who took extra time with Thade to explain all of the tools that would be used, and answer any questions that he had. When the dentist arrived, he had a few more questions, but he said he was really excited to get his filling.

Thade did such an awesome job, that big kid didn’t even flinch when he  was given a numbing shot. He said that it felt funny to not be able to feel part of his face. He was done in no time, and at the end of the appointment, he gave the dentist and the dental hygienist a great big hug, and told them it was the best day of his life, he felt so much better after his filling.

They also sent him home with three pieces of his favorite gum, and a coupon for a free ice cream cone too. I’m so proud of my big kid, he is a way better patient than his momma.
