Growing and changing

Yesterday Lance & Lexie had their very first dentist appointments. Lance went first. The hygienist gave him some cool froggy shades to wear. Lance was a champ and did everything she ask him to do with no fuss. She was super impressed with his behavior. He has great spacing between his teeth so that means his mouth won't be crowded when adult teeth come. The only concern is that Lance has an under bite, but it could correct itself when adult teeth come in or may need helped out when he is older. For now, he is looking good!

I love how relaxed he looks in this picture!

Next up was Lexie. Lexie started off by covering her mouth and saying, "No touch my teeth!" The hygienist bribed her with the cool heart shaped shades and after that she was a champ. Lexie's teeth are looking great! Great spacing and a great bite! I couldn't have been more proud of my big kiddos!! 

My kids are growing up so fast!! Lexie has went through a major growth spurt. She is a super fast runner, but lately I have noticed my little girl is pretty clumsy. She is constantly banging her poor knees  from falling. Lexie is also sleeping allot. She sleeps 11 to 12 hours a night plus about a 2 hour nap in the middle of the day. I guess playing outside in the sun and growing are really wearing her out. Lexie has also developed a huge personality lately. She kind of has an attitude toward others. At home we don't have a problem, but she definitely doesn't like others touching her or telling her what to do. Lexie is all about being a pretty princess. The other day I had braided my hair and she said "mommy, you're a pretty princess!" She even commented on my mom's long nightgown. She said it was a pretty princess dress. 

Lance is growing super fast too! He has made the transition to a booster seat and he is loving it! Lance is so caring and loving. When daddy is away he becomes the man of the house. He loves hugging and kissing on me. He always ask me how I am doing and if I need help. Daddy is such a great example of how to be a gentleman. Next week Lance will move from the 3 & 4 year old class to the 4 & 5 year class in gymnastics. We are looking forward to the change and learning new moves! 

Life is happening so fast. Kids grow up so dang quick. Some days it seems like there aren't enough hours in a day. I am so blessed to be able to enjoy these fun moments everyday. 

One of the kids favorite things to do is going to open gym. Open gym is a time that parents can come with their preschool kids and play together with them. Lance doesn't really need much help on the gym equipment. He is becoming quite the pro. Lexie loves mommy helping her reach the rings and hold her hand on the balance beams. 

I know I say this all the time, but I truly am blessed by God to be these awesome kids' mom!!
