first trip to the dentist.

hayes had her first dental appointment a week ago.  to my surprise, she was a perfect patient!  no tears and she let them do it all!  

all i had to do was watch!  good job, hayesie bird!!  

she's growing up in so many ways!

some haysie funnies:

-in trader joes buying snacks for my bunco group.  h: "bunco going to be at your house, mom?"  me: "no, we're doing it up at the pool house since daddy's out of town and ms. eleanor (babysitter) will be with you and sissy and will put y'all to bed."  h: "OH YAY!!!!  she's SO CUUUUTE!!"  ha! eleanor loved that=)

-bella walks by us as we're headed upstairs.  h: "hey bella. there's bella.  bella is so cute!  look at her!  i like your cat, mom.  she's sweet."  (the huge bite mark on my arm would suggest the sweet part is not quite accurate.  trying to keep her from drinking my bedside water at night does not always go well for me.)

-bees are on our church playground.  h: "there are bees on this playground!  isn't that disappointing!"  

-i'm already up in her playset outside and she's coming up the ladder….me: "hayes, you coming?" h: "yes i'm coming, i'm just having some problems!"  ha!  

she entertains all day long!  her actual voice tone, her language, her facial expressions, her hand movements….all entertaining.  she had a rough week last week with getting VERY easily frustrated and acting miserable, but snapped out of it sunday.  i just told her yesterday, "i'm so proud of your behavior this week, hayes!  you are really controlling your emotions nicely!"  her reply, "yeah, thanks mom!  i just got it together!"  ha!  i had to put her on a sticker chart last week and she really worked hard to earn those stickers!  whew.  until the next episode, i'll enjoy the more pleasant haysie bird.
