We went to the Farmer's Market this past Saturday and DD wanted a balloon so we went to the stand and when the lady asked DD what she wanted DD said "red balloon please" unprompted.

She then happily played with the balloon for the next hour while we shopped, best spent 50 centss ever.

I don't know if mine would count.

I was feeling down about work related things yesterday before we left to daycare and work.

DS got into my lap and kept saying 'mommy, mommy, mommy." "1 mommy, 2 mommies, etc." I will chalk it up as my mommy song with no music.

It did make my day. I love the song he made.

DS1 is a mess so I don't have much.  I asked him, "How are you?" this morning.  I ask him this all the time and never expect a relevant response.  He replied, "I'm good."  I nearly LOL.  It was so good I asked him again and got the same response.  Maybe they are working on this at "school", I have no idea.

DD1 ate 2 foods that she hasn't eaten in two years this week: eggs and grilled cheese. She's been trying more things lately, too.

I'm perfecting my fireman's carry dealing with the non-compliant preschooler.

I'm going to be ripped by the end of the summer.

I realized last week when I was helping DD1 brush her teeth that she had an adult tooth coming in BEHIND her baby teeth. Cue freakout. It's called "shark teeth" and apparently it's not uncommon at age 6, with the bottom middle teeth, which is exactly the situation with her. 

We went to the dentist and he pulled the tooth. Didn't use nitrous, he put on some numbing gel and then gave her a couple of shots in the mouth (which still stung at that point, but she did great and didn't fight, just complained and clutched my hand). I was SO proud of her. Did you know the tooth fairy pays double for pulled teeth? lol. 

She was fascinated by the whole tooth thing and has been showing everyone the gap. The adult tooth is already moving into the proper place, too. 

The same thing is happening with the other bottom front tooth, but the dentist thinks we can get that one to come out on its own. DD1 has been really pouty about having to work at wiggling the tooth because it is not very loose at all  (no instant gratification). I've been trying to explain that she has to work at it in order to make it wiggle, or we'd have to go back and get that one pulled, too. Last night I sat down with her and did about a minute of firm wiggling, and that loosened it just enough that she can move it on her own now. Now that she can feel it move, she's much more motivated to do it on her own. 

I hope the rest of her teeth aren't this much bother!

He also cut his upper lateral incisors before the centrals giving him a vampire baby look for a month or two.

I'm sorry, this made me LOL.  I really needed that.

I have a brag after all!  Just got a picture from DS1's play date today.  He is holding hands with a little girl.  Seriously warmed my heart!

I read DS a book each night. One of his favorites is a touch and feel book. Last night he used his index finger to touch the touchy spots on each page. He knew where each spot was without any prompting.

I haven't been on lately - been so busy.  Hope it is okay to post Friday Brags...

In the 6 months since Lily has had her trach removed, her expressive speech has jumped from '0 months' to '2 years of age.'  The most exciting thing about that - we're starting to get past the grunting stage.

It's official, Lily is starting to eat 'small meals.'  Now, we just need to be more consistent with actually offering her oral feeds.

Lily can verbally spell her name.
