Say Ahhh!

She finally got her teeth checked today and surprisingly, everything went well. Credit must go to the "Barney Visits The Dentist" and "Elmo Visits the Dentist" books she has read, as well as a whole week of telling what to expect and practising how to say "Ah" and "Ee."

Since it was her first visit, the dentist decided not to do much, except to count her teeth, check for cavities and bribe her with toys and stickers. The diagnosis: A healthy set of pearlies with no cavities. He did however recommend that we floss her teeth with some regularity.

On to another first, the munchkin will be starting school this fall at Oakwood (http://www.oakwoodweb.org/). We received the acceptance letter in the mail earlier this week and she's thrilled. She'll most likely be the youngest student in class since she barely made the November 30 cut-off, but we think she'll do fine. Plus, it's not full-on school, just 3 hours a day, 2 days a week. I'm excited about honing her social skills and watching work and play alongside other kids, but I'm equally fired up about the predictable pockets of free time I'll finally have to catch up on errands, chores and whatnot. Just like Kayla, I can't wait for school to start. :)

School starts September. The Kindergarten and elementary school kids all have uniforms but I'm not sure the preschoolers need to wear one.

Hopefully she'll be potty accident free by then. 6 more months to go. :)
