Guess Who Lost a Tooth?
Posted on October 13, 2011 by Nancy
Burke lost his very first tooth today!!
This morning, I tried to pull it out, but it wouldn’t quite come out for me. I turned around to help Logan with something while Burke brushed his teeth…and heard "Uh Mom? I lost my tooth!" 🙂
He’s had ‘shark tooth’ going on…so his adult tooth has already popped up. The dentist says his tongue will push it back into the right spot.

Breathing a Little Easier

I realized that I haven’t posted anything about the nanny situation lately…
I’m (incredibly) happy to report that WE HAVE A NANNY!! She’s been with us for 3 weeks now (this is the start of week 4), and she’s been really great so far. I mean – she shows up and everything! 😉
The kids seem to really like her, and she’s been really good about going with the flow of the Zoo craziness. She’s pretty even-tempered – which seems to have a nice calming impact on the kids (and me). And Higgins adores her. 🙂
It was a LOOOOONG 5 weeks while we did our search. And I’m afraid I wasn’t a very good stay-at-home-mom OR work-from-home-employee during that time. I’m just happy it’s behind me and I can start concentrating again 🙂

Tiger!
Posted on September 26, 2011 by Nancy
Last night was the Boy Scout Pack bonfire. All of the Cub Scouts and their families were invited to the scout master’s house for a ceremony and to roast marshmallows.
Burke is a Tiger scout!
(And I’m one of the assistant leaders for his Den…)

Logan’s Kid Party
Posted on September 24, 2011 by Nancy
We celebrated Logan’s birthday at GymStreet today. We figured we’d wait until school started so he could invite all of his classmates.
Lots of bouncy houses, gym class time, pizza, and cake. I think everyone had a good time 🙂

Wait for Me!

Watching Burke pick up on things quickly is not so easy for Maggie. Sometimes it makes her not even try…which *almost* happened with the bike…but seeing her pretty new purple sparkly bike sitting there waiting for her has been enough motivation to get her to try out the little bike without training wheels.
It took her a few hours to get over being afraid of the bike…and coming back the next day to actually be comfortable with it – but she’s getting there!!

We’re Gonna Need a Bigger Bike
Posted on September 18, 2011 by Nancy
Since Burke’s knees were touching the handle bars on his old bike, we ventured to Target to find a suitable replacement.
Oh the choices!! I didn’t know if I should get the 16 inch or the 20 inch…the chart said 20, but sheesh! The kid’s feet don’t touch the ground when he’s on that one!
When I finally noticed that the price tag for the bigger bike (pre-assembled) was less than the smaller bike (that we’d have to put together), I got the bigger bike.
He’s taken a few spills, and there are a few more dents in the van…and we need to work on his take-off and landing (or maybe he just needs to grow a few more inches) – but once he gets going, he’s golden! (And yes, he got it in under a half hour – again.)
