I Went to the Dentist!

For the past few weeks Mama and Daddy have been reading me fun stories about going to the dentist, it sounded pretty neat so when Mama said today was the day, I was excited!

When we first got to the office they already knew my name so checking in was a breeze, we got to play with all of their fun toys right away!  After a couple minutes I got called back, and then I got a little scared...

At first I didn't want to talk to the lady, even though Mama said she was really nice.  And I certainly didn't want to sit in her chair or wear her silly bib.  But Mama insisted that I give it a try, and as usual, Mama was right!  It was great!  Miss Kathy had a neat chair that goes up and down and tips backwards.  She also had a lot of fun tools.

I sat like such a big girl and let Kathy count my teeth.  Did you know I have 10 on top and 10 on bottom?  That is 20 teeth all together!  She had a silly tool that sprayed water in my mouth, and another silly tool she called Mr. Thirsty who drank all of the water out of my mouth before I could swallow it!  He sure did make some funny noises!  The best one was her fancy toothbrush that polished my teeth.  I even got bubble-gum toothpaste (don't tell Mama, she says no bubble-gum until I am 5)  When the dentist came in I was a little scared again but Kathy helped me through it.

When I was done Kathy let me pick out a tooth brush, she gave me some dental floss and tooth paste, and let me pick out a pretty ring from her drawer!

I can't wait to go back, it was great.  Keep brushing and flossing,

It Snowed!!

I don't know if you noticed, but it is getting COLD!  And cold means SNOW!!!

Yesterday was our first real snow which means one thing, time to bake some cookies!  Mama didn't have the ingredients yesterday so we did it today, but it was close enough...

If you remember WAAAY back, you will remember the fun cookie jar that Mama has, we are supposed to pull it out each year for the first snow and fill it full of yummy cookies all Winter.  If you don't remember the cookie jar you can check it out here...

I really like to help Mama in the kitchen.  As soon as she asked if I wanted to bake I ran to my room to get my apron so I don't get my clothes messy. 

Cookies are a lot of hard work, you have to measure the ingredients (I get to count how many scoops Mama makes, and I get to dump them in the bowl!) and then you have to do a lot of stirring.  We added chocolate chips, white chocolate chips and mini M&Ms!

After the dough is all mixed together it is time to put it on the cookie sheet.  I didn't quite figure out how to get mine all lined up like Mama, but they still turned out pretty good.

The hardest part about putting the cookies on the cookie sheet is not eating them.  Between every scoop Mama had to remind me not to lick the spoon...It was just so yummy!

We forgot to take a picture of the cookies when we were done, they were just too yummy to not eat right away!  Now our Snowman Cookie jar has a full tummy and it is time for me to go to bed.

Happy snow day!

My New 'Do

I have to be honest, this blog was supposed to be posted a LONG time ago, like back in August...Better late than never!

Right before Auntie Megan's wedding Mama decided it would be a good idea for me to get my haircut (she said I was starting to look like a ragamuffin...)

I wasn't so sure what to think at first, I really like Shelly, but getting my haircut seemed pretty scary.  After Mama explained that Shelly's chair went up and down and round and round, I decided to give it a try!

Shelly had a cool cape for me to wear so I didn't get hair all over, and she had magic spray to get the tangles out!

I sat really still...

And even looked down at my toes when she needed me to.

After she was done cutting I even let her dry my hair, just like she does for Mama!

She even put my hair clip back in!  Aren't I so cute!!

Mama had a haircut again last week and I was so excited to go.  Daddy forgot to pick me up so I got to stay for the whole time and watch Mama get her hair cut.  Shelly has fun books, magazines, legos, and candy!!  Afterwards Shelly gave me a quick trim too.  I did great!

Have a good night!
