Little Kite Girl

A list!

1) Whenever I (or anyone else) asks Cy anything he says, “Ummmmmm, no.”  It’s kind of funny actually.

2)  We brought him in for his first dentist visit today.  She said nothing about the pacifiers.  She did say his teeth look excellent, that it’s time to use grown-up toothpaste and floss, and that he can graduate to the chewable flouride tablets if he’ll eat them.  All in all, I felt very happy that his teeth are healthy and that he let her brush them. (He cried when she flossed him, but seemed to zen out when she brushed his teeth.)  When I got home I was talking to my Mom about how really, Cy lets us brush his teeth just fine.  And then she said, “Erin, do you not remember saying to him as you brushed his teeth as soon as he got them, ‘You can cry, but this is a battle you are not going to win.’”  She also reminded me that I told her when she watched him at night, “Please brush his teeth.  He will cry, but that just helps you get the back ones.”  Apparently it wasn’t always this easy, and our consistence has paid off.  Thanks for reminding me of all our efforts, Mom!  Also, Cy loves his spinny Thomas toothbrush.  Choo choo!

3)  Last night when I was feeding Cy his second dinner of Cheerios (he refused Enchiladas earlier) he saw the front of the box, and said “Love! Cute! Heart!”

4)  For some reason around dinnertime Cy has started asking for “Gabba Gabba!” I would like to know who introduced my child to this show so that I can force him or her to come over and watch it with him.  It’s like being on crack.  But with responsibilities.

5) John and I have started running again.  And taking humongous vitamin packs.  And trying to get better (more consistent) sleep.  It feels really good.  Let’s just hope no one gets another respiratory infection.

6) We’re going to paint the bathroom tomorrow.  I am not looking forward to it.

The end.
