kindergarten celebration and the orthodontist

Last night was Hayden's kindergarten celebration and it was fabulous!

The teachers did a great job putting together a very special performance that brought tears to my eyes!  I'm such a sap!

I'm proud to say that Hayden's award was Fantastic Math Mind.  He really loves math and it's totally his thing!

I also got recognized for volunteering my time. 

Layla had a big day today too.  She had her first orthodontist appointment and she needs a few things done to fix her smile.  I couldn't be happier with the orthodontist we picked and I think she will be all set starting this summer.  She has to have an expander and braces on the top four teeth.  I'm quite sure I will be taking lots of pictures of the braces and retainer process!  She's kinda excited about this new chapter.  She'll do great with getting her smile all in line!

no cavities

The kids had their first dentist appointment yesterday.

Gary and I have been talking about this day for several months, so when it was time to go, the kids were ready.  I could tell by the look in their eyes they were very nervous.  Layla did everything first, so Hayden felt like if she could do it, so could he!  At one point he crawled up into the chair with Layla.  It was so sweet.  They really were perfect angels.  I was one proud mommy!

They both got awesome reports!  No cavities.  I was thrilled.  

Gary is the teeth 'brusher' in our house.  He has done well :)    I am so happy we had a really good experience at our first trip to the dentist!
