Well - I'm an idiot. Seriously. On Friday Kaitlyn fell out of the car at Walmart. I thought she hurt her face really bad, but she was more worried about a little cut on her finger than the blood pouring from her head. Everything turned out fine - she is totally okay. Well, on Saturday I noticed a chip in between her two front teeth. I just figured that when she fell, she bumped her teeth as well. So I called the dentist this morning to get Kaitlyn in. We went in, they took an x-ray and found..... a HUGE CAVITY!! What? I felt like the biggest idiot. Especially since I did work for a dentist for a year and did not realize this is what it could be. But the main reason I feel like a bad mom is because I am NOT very strict on her brushing her teeth every night, and *gasp* sometimes I let her have a sippy cup in her bed. I know... I know. That stops tonight!!!! So, here is how rest of the appointment played out. The doctor immediatly gets a little nervous telling me what all is involved in filling a cavity on a 3 year old. He said they would give her laughing gas, then a shot, and then fill it. I wasn't too worried about it - Kaitlyn is pretty tough. But, she has never been in this situation before so I was curious to know how she would handle it. Well, too bad I wouldn't get that chance because the dentist wouldn't let me stay back there with her. I argued with him at first, but then agreed thinking he probably knew what he was doing. I called James almost in tears. I have no idea why I was crying, I guess I just wanted to witness this "first" moment in Kaitlyn's life. So, not more than 10 minutes later Kaitlyn comes literally bouncing out saying, "That was great! I love my "feeling!" (filling)." The dentist said he did give her the laughing gas, but decided not to numb it with a shot and see how far he could get. Kaitlyn was so brave - he made it all the way through with no shot! Kaitlyn had like 3 bracelets on each wrist and about 7 stickers on her shirt. She just continues to surprise me each and every day.
The rest in pictures....
We had a sleepover with our Freshman huddle girls on Saturday night. It's been awhile since I've stayed up the entire night. I'm still recovering. I had some of my friends come bang on the windows and scare them, it was pretty great. Here's the crowd:
Jody jamming out to Guitar Hero. She was awesome!
We went to Walmart at 1:00 AM to get face masks and cucumbers. Yes - 1:00 in the AM.
A Daddy and his girls. They both just love him. As cheesy as it sounds, my heart overflows with love everytime I see these girls smile at their Daddy. They both have such a sweet connection with him.
Anyone remember the red hat?

Glad Kaitlyn was such a big girl! She is a tough girl! Miller has been completely traumatized by the dentist. Ever since he fell at the first of this year he has had to go back every 2-3 weeks for check-ups on his tooth that was knocked loose. He hasn't even had shots or anything....just a little splint and tons of x-rays. He has to be restrained by multiple assistants (and a straight jacket) just to let the dentist look at him. I took him for an "observation only" trip to the dentist a couple of weeks ago and just let him watch while Avery and I got our teeth cleaned. I am hoping it was theraputic, and that he will let them clean his teeth next time....we have 6 months to get him prepared!
Cora is getting so big, and maybe looking more and more like her sister.
Yay Kaitlyn!!!
Umm I think cora's expression says exactly how she feels about that red hat. hehe! love ya!
your sleepover looks like tons of fun! Danielle is one of Brent's A-high girls....love her! That girl cracks me up! ...And love the red hat!
I love the red hat. It is amazing to see how much Cora has filled out! I wonder what Cora is going to say one day when she is getting married and you put the red hat pictures on her slideshow....

Very impressed with the filling story! she is a champ. Love the hat. Come see us when you're in D-town.
What a trooper! I am glad everything turned out alright. I love the pictures of your sweet girls. They are precious!
You just tell Kaitlyn that her auntie Sara has had numerous cavities in her day and I turned out OK and still have all my teeth.
Both girls are so cute and can't wait to see them soon...hopefully.
