I got this

Reese had to go to the dentist today for her first of three appointments to get her 7 cavities taken care of. Jim told me that when he walked her back to the dentist's room and watched her sit down they explained everything about the mask that would help her to relax while they filled her cavities. She looked at Jim and told him he could go, "I got this dad!"  Just like that my 5 year old acts like a 15 year old.

Bedtime bathroom funnies

Tonight JJ told me (while taking his shower) that he wants to name his "pee pee." When I asked him why he said so that when he's talking about it other people won't know that he's talking about it. I told him that's a great idea and asked him what he would name it. His answer was, "T.M.A."  It was all that I could do to try not break down laughing. I walked away and let him finish his shower. When I came back (5 minutes later) I asked him why his hair wasn't wet and he reminded me that he can't turn around in the shower because the water hurts his T.M.A. (Things new 7 year olds say). 

It was then Reese's turn. She got in the shower and wanted to do everything herself. She took her shower, I told her when to put her shampoo on, and she let me know when she was done. She was so proud of herself that she came out to tell Jim that she used two squirts on her hair and one on her body. Jim told her great job and as she walked back to her room I could hear her say, "yeah, I can do it because I'm all grown up now."  Please stop growing up Reese and James.  9/4/16
