ABBY BIRTHDAY (SHORT)

OK OK OK

I know I need to post more But I have a LAB final from LAST semester I'm taking it this week, Microbiology which is a tail kicker of a class but FUN FUN FUN, in a strange way if you want to know why and how we test for things, why test results come out the way they do. Fermentation of glucose to give end products of acetic acids, lactic acids and formic acids, nitrate to nitrites to ammonia...DNAse with methyl green and peptides oh sorry I got excited :).

It is a fun class really but It did make me more of a GERM-A-PHOBE

PEOPLE WASH YOUR HANDS

Because others don't

Bathrooms are cleaner than you think.

Sunglasses are horrible don't ever put them in your mouth to hold on to. Don't let kids play with them.. oh ya MRSA is EVERYWHERE

Our Brave girl

Abby had a Very Adventurous day today she got 4 teeth pulled...

All were perfectly health and strong that was the problem too STRONG. At her last check up, 5 months ago Dr. Tell it like it is. said "Abby has BIG teeth" (under her little perfect teeth that were (are) nicely spaced. see top photo) We knew than that when the permanent teeth did come it they we going to be big like Julia Roberts Chic lets lol. Well about 2 months ago( see post 12/24) Abby said she had her first loos tooth GREAT finally she will loos a tooth like all her class mates well...

They got loose but they were holding on for dear life. One night last week she came and said her mouth was feeling weird. I looked inside and she had "cut" two new teeth. This is what happened as a baby, she would wake up with a new tooth or two. I never one time was up at night with her teething ( sorry;0).

Well being the mom I am I made her a DDS appointment for this morning. After x-rays It was determined that the FOUR front teeth we strong as ever and were not going any were soon. SOOOOOOO DR. Tell it like it is suggested we pull them to make room for the BIG ones coming in. It looks like one of the permanent equal two+ of the baby teeth. I jumped on the phone to my dentist Dr. Calm and a young mom herself, she confirmed that this is now a common thing and in the end will save Abby discomfort and time and money in orthodontia work(which is starting at age 8 now) So with a bit of hesitation said OK.

Abby was so good not one tear Not one. She is just the kind of kid if you tell her the truth on what is going to happen and "YA the shot might hurt for a bit but you will be fine", she is good to go.

OK it took like 30 sec for him to "wiggle" them out. I was like "that is it $300 for that" (that was just my portion and we have VERY good dental insurance). Just a shot of Novocain a few "wiggles" and out came four teeth.

She wanted me to post all the pics we took even the ones when we are getting ready for the "Tooth fairy" to come. You can see in one of the pics that two of the teeth had roots still but they were just there on the X rays. We did not to "wiggle" them out in the next few weeks.
You can see in pic how in just a week or so that the others were coming in behind the baby ones.

So after a trip to Target to get an early birthday present and some soft food she is fine and very proud of herself for "not freak-en"at the DDS. She was actually impressed with the blood and the carnage (Ya she is my kid lol) If you ask her now what she thinks she thinks that she looks like a vampire and this would have been fabulous at Halloween time Look at that
Jassie is standing guard
Do do all keep the treasures ??

So sweet

I will admit it.. I am a night-stalker ! I have this odd OK weird fascination of taking pic of Abby when she is sleeping. I just think it is the "purest" part of her. You can see in this Pic how she "loves" Jassie when she is sleeping. A few times a month Abby will ask me "Did you get a good pic of me sleeping yet"? She knows I do it not by waking up with the flash but by me showing her the pics. I love her little cheeks in this one.

The love we all have for our children.. Knows no limits..even at 3 am in morning when we go to check on them...

Look who got a hair cut, purse

I did it. OFF it went. My hair looks longer in these pics than it really is but I love it.

NEW Hair do and a new PURSE............. My hair is way easy Supper curly and My new purse is SWEET and best of all it was under $20.oo thanks Sam Moon.....
Abby was the Photographer on this one

Some times a hug is all you need

Random thoughts by ME

Random

As I have been cleaning this morning from the after math of a very fun Christmas thing, well random things have come to me over the hot soapy bubbles of dishes,,,,,

We always seem to have to wash potholders after Easter and Christmas
How many paper towels and dish cloths can you really go use ( a small load full here)
Were are all my Tupperware, Rubbermaid or whatever you have lids !!!!!
"Palmolive dish soap soften hands" anything will soften hands ...err water log hands after 30 min.
Non stick really ??? were not here.
Who are you kidding there is no way your going to eat all these left overs why even try to look for the Tupperware. ( I do to honor my lovely MIL who saves everything because in her house they do eat the left overs??
What do I do with all the Candy Canes?

And last but not least
Abby got a few really nice gift this year, one was a Nintendo DS pink with the Puppy Paw print ( please keep in mind her Dad loves the vids, at work the kids have them and she can really play them and well It is pink, cute and she has asked for it for two years and.... who cares) The thing is she also got her a "Tuter" (woopie cushion) among other things. The morning while she was playing with the Puppy game she asked my to "POP" the Tuter well it "POP" alright with a BIG whole it the side. It was the catastrophe of the year we had to call Daddy to go to Big lots (of crud)
to pick up about 5 more for a total of .88
It like they say the smallest cheapest thing sometimes is just as much fun. Well the the DS is her "BEST SANTA GIFT EVER IN A MILLION YEARS!! HOW DID HE KNOW" But the "tuter" is gross fun and silly"

So my random thought need to end Abby wants to do her sand art, why now I ask...well she must have seen me sweep the floor this morning and thought her own random thought
Clean floor, mess, fun for mommy to sweep yes yes lets do sand art !!!

Love to all enjoy your random thoughts

A loose what

Well the time Has come!!

Abby has been going to the Dentist since she was three on the dot every 6 months. (come on its me were talking about) The reason she LOVES to go is to get an update on the progress of losing her first tooth. Unfortunately the Dentist on her 5 1/2 year check up gave her the horrible news.. Abby has what he calls "A Julia Roberts smile ", a mouth of nice big permanent teeth. However the baby teeth are in there good and strong, which apparently is good news for parents. It seems that if you have big teeth you want your jaw to grow before your teeth start falling out...... So the big teeth can come in straight not crowded and needing orthodontia at the age of 8.

Well guess what WE HAVE OUR FAIRLY MILDLY LOOSE TOOTH !!!.
it is the baby one in the center turning to the left.

It has been a great weekend in our home







Showing me what tooth it is



Her sweet smile will now be under construction for the next 12 years!!!

What a weekend a loose tooth and Christmas. How much better can we get???
