Kaelyn's lost tooth

It happened. I knew it was going to happen but I was so not ready to pull it. That kind of thing makes my skin crawl. She was so excited that her tooth was loose she was always wiggling it and asking me to check if it was ready to pull. When my teeth were loose I would always wait until it would almost fall out on it's own I hated having to pull them. So on one particular day Kaelyn asked me to check her tooth and that is when I saw it. The first thing that came to my mind was...she is going to need braces and I needed to start a savings account not so that kind of thing. What I saw was her adult tooth coming in behind her baby tooth. I showed Lance and said this baby one has to get out. So after 2 days of trying Lance got out a "tool" and pulled it. Lace gave her and big pep talk about how it will hurt but not for long and that is was going to bleed and to not worry. Kaelyn was so brave. I hope that her Adult tooth will come in just fine.

All Dressed Up

I know haloween was almost a month ago but I thought better late than never. I was trying to do a theam this year. the theam I picked was Star Wars. But Kaelyn didn't want to be Pirncess Lea. So I thought Well I still have Cohen as Darth Vader and Jordan and Yoda. But as soon as Jordan saw what Kaelyn was wearing she ran to the dress up box and changed to match sister. She was so cut when she came out that I didin't have the heart to make her change.

Cohen's Thought of the Day

Call me crazy but I took Jordan and Cohen with me to my eye appointment. They were really good and I made sure that I brought coloring books and The Friend along to read. (The Friend is a magazine our church put together for kids 3 to 12 years old) As we were sitting in the waiting room Cohen wanted to know what they were going to do to my eyes. I let him know that they were going to look at them and make sure I had the right kind of glasses. Cohen doesn’t do much talking when Kaelyn is around so when she is at school I try to have as many conversations with him as he will allow. While waiting this is what we talked about:

Me: Cohen when you grow up do you think you will wear glasses?
Cohen: Um no! (With attitude) I am not going to grow up I am going to stay 5 forever!
Me: But Cohen you are not 5 yet
Cohen: I know…but when I turn 5 I will stay 5 forever.
Me: ok if you want to.

The doctor then called us in. He is a member of our ward and the kids know him so they were comfortable talking to me in front of him. We chatted and he (the Dr) mentioned how fast they are growing.

I told me what Cohen had said in the waiting room. He chuckled and said Good answer moms never what their kids to grow up. Cohen responded like this.

And I am not getting older than 5 and then my hair wont grow and I will never have to get it cut again.

The Dr and I couldn’t help but laugh. I love the way Cohen’s little mind works.
