The Question Is

We all know she's as cute without clothes as with, but...

...is she as cute with hair as without?

"Flyaway bangs."

Smile and Say Wah

So Good!

Clark had his first dentist appointment yesterday! (Dr Erick Anderson for any of you looking for a great dentist with kids OR adults.)

Here is how the appointment went:

Clark sat in the chair and "Miss Angie" and I drooled over how cute he was...
Then Dr. Anderson came by to look at his teeth, giving him more attention...
Then Miss Angie gave him a toothbrush...
Then he got to go pick out a toy from the treasure chest...
Then he got to show Grandma how pretty his teeth looked.
So we're talking about at least a solid hour of people showering him with attention, compliments and gifts.
Needless to say he LOVES going to the dentist and is thrilled that while birthdays come but once a year, dentist visits come TWICE!
And he was beautifully behaved the whole time we were there!!

So Naughty!

Allow me to really quickly refresh everyone's memory on what happens when a kid feels he actually IS the center of the universe (we call it post-birthday syndrome).

After screaming at Grandma for trying to help him to his carseat and screaming at Mommy for actually suggesting he have lunch, I quickly tossed the young tot in the car and decided we really needed to get home and start that nap as quickly as possible.

We got out of the car, I changed his diaper,
Then I put on his shorts.... at this time he started screaming for a diaper change...
Then I tucked him in... at this time he started screaming for his shorts...
Then I left the room... so he started screaming to be tucked in.

LOL at least we both wanted the same things.
He really was beautifully behaved at the dentist and one can't supress all that 2-year-old-ness forever, so I kind of laughed. But only kind of.

My Favorite Small Appliance

Clark loves small appliances. Has since he was a baby and I'd announce "loud noise!" and then turn them on. I try to use them fairly frequently for his sake and certainly try to make sure he's awake and can help. I think I probably use them far more than the average person. Now my mom on the other hand (as we all know...) is no average person. Check out what goes on over there every morning.

rrrrrr (citrus juicer)
"someone run Dad his grapefruit juice."

rrrrrrrr (juicer)
"who wants carrot juice?"

rrrrr (coffee grinder)
"can I call you back? I'm just fixing your father his coffee...."

RRRRRRRRRRR (grain mill)
"oh you're just in time dear dear! We're making bread today!"

rrrrrr POP rrrrrPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOP POP! POP!..... POP!!
(popcorn maker or cuh-corn maker, whatever you want to call it.)

rrrrrrr (blender... RIP)
"come get your smoothie!"

rrrr (hand mixer... the "new!" blender!)
"come get your smoothie!" That's one chunky smoothie.

Anyway, you can imagine how happy Clark is when we get there early enough to watch all these things happen.

Now, my personal favorite small appliance is the smart one. The one that realizes when a camera is watching and does things a little quieter. The kind that has a "good smile." The kind that gets a little spastic and makes a mess. Check out how it makes popcorn!

That's one I would keep out on the counter all the time!

Thanks Aunt Teffy!

I'm not sure if Hannah enjoys the swing or not. ;)

So... I finally did it. I put an incredibly LONG video of my child just cooing. I couldn't help myself. She's cute and her Daddy hasn't gotten to see her in 2 weeks. It's 3 minutes long if you think you can handle it. If I would have only made it 4 you would have REALLY gotten to see some happy feet!
