what we are up to

POTTY TRAINING!




Yes, because I'm tired of changing diapers, because I know she is ready, because I don't want to spend more $$$ on diapers, because she can't go to college without being potty trained.

We started this morning, step one get some undies on! Awww there's something about babies on underwear that just make me feel awwwww, they look so cute!





Day 1 went OK, I mean she did have accidents & she didn't go on the potty not even once but I think she is starting to understand, I just need to be patient & keep encouraging her, she is so smart anyway ... & stubborn!

I tried to give her fluids as much as I could so she could go often ...









We also did some crafts today! Finger painting is fun when is not messy & mostly when you can actually teach your kid how to make beautiful pieces of art that you can hang on your walls ...


Aren't they cool?





And with that, I'm off ... and Gracie is done with pictures... of course just for today!

#Dentist visit#

First of all let me tell you that I don't like dentists AT ALL!  I didn't have pleasant experiences when I was a child and I still feel like I can't breathe everytime I have to go.

Fortunately we found the BEST DENTIST OFFICE ever!!! Seriously I just love it!! The doctor is super nice & very proffesional, I mean the whole staff is awesome, very nice and kind. The office is beautiful, the chairs are super comfy next to a waterfall!!!!  Yes! that is very soothing and relaxing. They even have warm blankets and you can pick between listening music or watch a movie while they are working on your mouth! If that wasn't enough is less than half a mile away from our house!!!

I have a follow up appointmet to check on the surgery I had last month and everything looks pretty good, unfortunately I still have to go to get done some other things but I definitely not scared anymore.

The star of the show was of course Grace, I brought her along because I wanted them to check on her baby teeth just to be sure that everything is fine.

All I have to say is WOW! she amazed me everyday. She was calm and cool during the whole time she was on the chair, she let Debbie to take a peek on her mouth without a fuss. I sure hope that this attitude will continue forever.

She was happy "playing" with the toothbrush!!!

Overall it was a great experience and it's so nice to know that all is good.

If you live in Arizona and need a dentist don't hesitate to give Dr. Smallwood and his staff a call, I guarantee you won't be dissapointed.
