Dentist and Girl Time

They (yes, the infamous they) recommend that children should start seeing the dentist sometime between 2 and 3... and I'm a bum and finally got around to getting Tristan an appointment.  They told me that the appointment usually runs 30 minutes, so I planned accordingly.

Gaetan actually ended up taking him to his appointment while I stayed home with Goose.  He had to call a few times to get some information about Duder, but then he said they were ready to go.  About 5 minutes after his scheduled appointment I get a text from him saying they're on their way home.  My initial reaction was... "Seriously?!  After all that time and work you had to do filling out paperwork they didn't even take you?"  But it turns out that Dude has such awesome teeth the appointment was already done!  The dentist there said that Dude had the best looking teeth that she had ever seen on toddler... maybe on anybody.  She just gave him a quick cleaning and some fluoride.  He did great, and was even really excited about the prize and tooth brush they gave him!  :)  I was so proud of him for taking it so well.

I hope you're ready to go in Dino because that's where you're going!

Meanwhile, Lucy and I were tearing it up girl style at home.  Haha.  It was nice having the one on one with her and doing what she wanted to do.  I mean, really she does what she wants to do anyways, but this way there wasn't anything else to interfere.  She really wanted to take a bath... which I thought was interesting.  Normally, the kids take a bath together, and Dude plays with Dinos and Letters while she plays with bubbles and her feet.  But, since he wasn't in the tub with her this time she got to play with the dinos... and you know what?  She did the exact same thing that he does.  She lined all the dinos she could find up on the ledge, and then she pushed them in one by one.  Dude says that they are diving in, so she was say, "ga-ga" (which he her version of go) and then push them in.  It was pretty funny.

Leaves galore!

Later that day Lucy had her 18 mo check up and Gaetan took her to her appointment, because I couldn't remember if she had to get any boosters or not... and this Momma doesn't like being around for shots!  So Dude and I got to hang out at Grandma and Don's together.  Again, another really nice one and one for me with him.  We pretty much stayed outside the entire time, which was great!  Mom was doing some yard work, getting rid of things in the garden in prep for winter, and Dude was having a blast helping her.  They ended up raking some leaves together and playing in the pile which was cute.

Sweet Goose baby

I am happy to report that Miss Lucy is healthy as a Goose ;)  She is 26 lbs and 33 inches... she is now within her range, not off the charts.  She is in the 80% for height and 75% for weight.  She is probably way smarter than she should be, but we love her sassy little personality.  :)
