Adventures in Primary

We just got called to Primary to teach children ages 5-6. Sean had quite the experience for his first day yesterday and his little angels turned out to be little monsters, but in his words little hellions. I will try to quote from his story as best as possible, so here it goes. I let him teach primary by himself yesterday, because Audrey needed to stay home because she has a cough and cold. He said during the primary when all the children were combined the two little girls in his class were perfect little angels. In the back of his mind he thought oh this should be easy, because the girls were behaving so well. Anyways, when he brought them into class the girls started being sassy right when they walked through the door, by saying we are not sitting on chairs. We are sitting on the floor, so they did. Sean said he literally had to ask them questions every five seconds, just to keep them entertained. He said that he had a church video and the girls immediately were against it and said if it was a church video they would not watch it. Sean turned on the video anyways and said that they got through a third of it. He said during class the girls decided it would be funny to have a screaming contest and they purposely tried farting a lot... poor guy, but I can't help and laugh about it. Also, the girls decided it would be funny to give Brother Young a new name. At first they asked can we call you "Brother Poo", he said "No", then the little girls said how bout "Brother Pee" He said No. The little girls said not like Pee, But like the letter P. He said no, but they called him Brother P the rest of class. Oh where has there innocence gone, during those moments you wonder. We love kids, but know they are difficult sometimes and look forward to our year in primary. Hope everyone has a happy new year!!

My beautiful Wife

I'm not the type who likes any type of PDA nor am I one to freely express my affection (much to the dismay of Megan, who is the total opposite. I'm very lucky). But as my wife and kids still sleep after spending most of the night sniffling, sneezing, coughing, and just being miserable, I decided I would get out of my comfort zone.
Megan is one of a kind. When I met her, she was spunky and very cute. I was a fresh RM and didn't know how to act around girls, but she decided she wanted to be my friend, so I let her. Good choice. It didn't take long before she became my best friend and I realized that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her. We hadn't dated long and it really was a leap of faith deciding to marry her because of all the things I really didn't know about her and how our relationship would turn out, but I was stuck with the impression that if I didn't go after this one, I knew I would be looking back years from now thinking to myself how I could have possibly let such a beautiful and fun girl go. So I married her. I often get into conversations with other people who are my age and still dating that I wouldn't suggest doing what I did because of all the unknowns and you really should get to know a person better and for a longer period than I did, because it's scary and it's the rest of your life. I will admit that if I were to go back and do it all over again, I would have dated longer. The chances of divorce, separation, or having a very difficult and sometimes miserable marriage after having only dated for a short time is significantly increased. However, I lucked out. I will admit we've had some hard times. Our first year of marriage was fine, better than we had expected. Our second year was more difficult with having the stress of a new baby, no income, full-time school, etc. But since then, every single day of my life I love her more than I did the previous day. Including today. I could not have found a more perfect fit for me (I don't know if I can say the same thing about me for her). Not only is she gorgeous, a fantastic wife, a great mother (she gave me two really dang cute ones, by the way, as evidenced by the pictures), and fun, the thing that I love about her just as much as anything is that she lets me be me. She doesn't try to change me, she doesn't tell me I can't do the things that I love to do (going fishing, visiting my best friend in Sandy for an entire day to play basketball and just hang out... getting the "me" time, watching pretty much every Jazz and BYU game, and so on). I don't think I am as good at it as her. I try to let her go do things with other people while I watch the kids, but what surprises me is that most of the time, she would rather stay home and be with me. I love that. She loves me, adores me, and puts me first. I'm not sure a lot of guys are as lucky as me. She's all that I could have ever asked for. I love you, Megan. I just thought everyone else should know, for once, how I felt.

Three months old and my silly three year old

Adam is now three months old and has grown up so much already it is hard to believe. He is such a happy baby and smiles all the time. He has started giggling recently and it is the cutest thing ever. Lately he likes to bat at toys with his hands and suck on his fingers. He can hold his head really steady now instead of it flopping all over the place when he was just a newborn. Also, he can be laying back on a propped up pillow and bring himself to a sitting position for a second. Yesterday, I was holding his hands and he would be sitting down and bring himself to a standing position for a couple of seconds. He is one strong baby!
Audrey is my little miss independent lately. She wants to do everything for herself and if I try to do it she says " no" and does it herself anyways. She is a big Dora fan right now and I just bought her a Dora bedspread yesterday and she has been wanting to lay in bed ever since. Audrey is so friendly and loves playing with kids and seems to make friends everywhere we go. I love that she is not shy and that she is doing really well socially. It will help when she starts in Preschool and Kindergarten in a couple of years.

Here is a cute video of Audrey from Halloween. This is her impression of a whistle. It is pretty funny! So watch it. =)

Happy Birthday!!

Happy Birthday to my wonderful husband Sean! He is 27 today! It is crazy to think he was 21 years old when we first met and all the time that has past. Sean is just finishing up his Bachelors degree in Nursing and has worked so hard to get to this point in his life. I'm so proud of him, for his perseverance, ambition and achievements. Sean is such a good guy and one of the nicest people I know. If you ask him to do something he never says no and just does it and is very helpful. He loves his family and takes very good care of us and makes sure we are happy. I could not ask for a better companion, because he completes me in every way and measures up to more then I ever imagined having in my life. Sean loves and adores his kids and likes to have his one on one time with them, even though life keeps him busy he makes time for them. Thanks, for being the person that you are. We love you!!

Two week old pics of Adam

Well Adam is now 2 months old and is weighing in at 11 lbs 15 oz! I must say he has quite the appetite... He is 75 % for his weight, 50% for his height and head circumference. Also, Audrey just had a birthday on October 19th and is now 3 yrs old!!!! I will post more about her birthday later. But for now I will just post some pics from when Adam was two weeks old and some of Audrey as well.

These pictures were taken by Sean's missionary friend Travis Richardson. He does an amazing job. His website is Travisjphotographyblog.com. We're planning on getting family pictures soon as, if you take a look, you can tell will be awesome.

One month old

Time goes by so fast! Adam is now one month old and has grown rapidly. He fits into his zero-three month clothes now and I think he will be in three to six month clothes in no time. He loves to eat and always seems to be hungry!! He is also a great sleeper and that has been really nice when night time rolls around. I have to say that having a second baby is not as hard as I thought it would be and I love having one around. He is such a sweet little guy and even grins at us from time to time. Audrey has adjusted surprisingly well and loves to give her little brother kisses on his fore head, give him his blanket, or put his binkey in his mouth. She gets a little jealous sometimes when I am holding him, but gets over it fast. We try to give her lots of love and attention and play with her all the day long. One thing funny about Adam is he grunts a lot and I mean a lot, for no apparent reason. One thing sad about him is he has clogged tear ducts and his eyes are constantly watery and goopy. Which causes his eyelids to be stuck together and then he cannot open his eyes. I wipe his eyes with a warm wash cloth several times a day and that seems to help for a little while. Audrey had clogged tear ducts when she was a baby, but very mildly and it only lasted a few days. Hopefully Adam's tear ducts will clear up soon.... Besides that we are grateful to have a healthy little boy.Here are couple of pictures from yesterday. More pics to come! Enjoy!!

Introducing Adam 2.0

So, two weeks ago we had a baby... well, not we... Megan did. My part is long been done. On August 28, Adam Moylen Young came into the world a quiet pink and blue 6 lb 13 oz definite boy. He was quiet because he had some respiratory problems where his alveoli wouldn't adequately open quick enough so they kept him in close watch at the nursery. About 3 hours later, after giving him a bath, he pinked up, breathed better, and was ready to come back to mommy. Megan went about 6 hours after labor induction without the epidural (she thought she could go natural... bad idea). She progressed really slow until after she got the epidural and the doc came and broke her water. Then things moved real fast and she actually only had about 5 minutes of real actual pushing out the baby stuff. Recovery was much better this time around, despite the fact that Megan didn't sleep for nearly 48 hours straight (those dang nurses have GOT to be quieter at night). We were very grateful to family members for helping out with Audrey, especially my sister, Heather, who spent both days and nights babysitting Audrey at home while I stayed with Megan at the hospital. Audrey adores her aunt Heather, so it was a good matchup. In any case, Mommy and baby are doing great, Audrey seems to be adjusting okay, and I am now a little less lazy. I'll post some pics now, since that's what you really opened the blog up for, not this whole great spiel I just put you through.

He is definitely a boy. And definitely one of ours.

Megan looks pretty good for just having had a baby.

This is aunt Heather, our lifesaver.

Audrey. She's cute.

Dad and Son.

This is my cousin, Adam Twede (hence the Adam 2.0 subject line), my life-long best friend to this day. I always knew I would name my first son after him and my cousin is the kind of person that you would be glad to name your child after. I had to convince Megan, though, and did so by agreeing that if we name this one Adam, then I was to let her name the rest of the kids anything she wants. Too bad she doesn't want any more kids anymore.

Adam standing up... kinda... not really...

And finally the siblings unite... almost.

There you have it.

Counting down

I am so excited that this pregnancy has almost come to an end! I went to the doctor's today and found out that I am dialated to a two. Yay!! It is so nice to know that baby Adam is almost here. I am 37 weeks and 4 days along, so hopefully he will come any time now. According to the ultrasound Adam is doing well and has a strong heartbeat. He is weighing in at about 6lbs 5oz. My doctor says that he is gaining about a half a pound a week, so he will probably be a good seven pounder. I am still really nervous to have a second child, but knowing with time I will adjust helps keep me positive about it.

Pregnancy update

I am now 37 weeks along, so just counting down the days for the arrival of our son. My last Doctor's appt. was a couple of days ago and the little guy weighed about 5lbs 11oz and looked healthy. Audrey always gets so excited to see my stomach and will kiss it and say baby Adam, so I'm hoping she understands that a baby is coming soon... I keep telling her that baby Adam will be coming soon and she perks up to the word baby, but I still think it will be quite the adjustment for her. Anyways, we are all doing well and I should post pics and longer blog later of our summer adventures and pregnant belly.

Anyone interested?

I am quitting my job and there is an opening if anyone is interested. I am an on-site manager for a storage facility with two other girls that are considered managers as well.
I work Mon-Fri. 3 hrs and 20 min in the office and I have to do a daily check of my area in the facility, so just about 4 hours a day. Also, every third Saturday the girls rotate turns working a full Saturday and you get Sundays off. It pays for rent, utilities, and a storage unit and you get just a little extra money each month and you would live on site if you got the job. This is a great opportunity if your husband is in school, or if you want to save up to buy a home in the near future. I get to take my little girl to work with me because the company allows it and there is a playroom for her to play in, so very child friendly. If anyone wants to apply, or find out more information let me know. If you know someone that this job might benefit, let me know. I just thought I might get the word out there, because I have been meaning to mention in my ward, but have not had a chance to yet because of so many events going on lately.

100 Days to go!

I have 100 more days to go according to my babystrology ticker on the side of my blog, Plus a nice hot summer to endure. It still seems so far away, but it helps me to know I still have some time to prepare for baby Adam. We are actually going to be moving at the beginning of June into a townhouse, which we will only be renting. I am so excited though, because it will be such an upgrade from an apartment and it will be nice to have more space. Anyways, we are only moving about 5 miles away from where we are now, so it will not be to far away from everything. Another thing I forgot to mention is that I am going to be switching OBGYN's, because our health insurance has changed and cause my OBGYN stopped delivering a while ago, but I only found that out recently. Does anyone have any good recommendations, because I need to find one an OBGYN ASAP!

Update: We did find an OBGYN and the 100 day ticker was actually 9 days off. Our real official due date is August 30th. We had been told 3 different dates - one being August 21st of which an assistant had told us and of which the baby ticker was based off of, August 30th, which is based off of the LMP, and Sept 9th, which an ultrasound indicated... there... now no more confusion.

Audrey's mothers day surprise

This mothers day I got reminded of what it is to be a mother and what we endure sometimes with our children. At about three o clock in the morning Audrey woke up and started crying, for some unknown reason. I walked into her room and the next thing I know she starts hurling everywhere...... and for about every fifteen to twenty minutes after that until about six thirty this morning she was still upchucking. Poor little Audrey finally fell asleep for a couple of hours and woke up this morning asking for a drink. Sean thought it would be okay to give her some milk, but that was a big mistake and she had another outburst of up chucking again. Usually it is not good to give milk for up to 24 to 48 hours after a child has been sick like this and I think Sean forgot this detail since Audrey has not had a stomach virus for over a year. Sean had to run to the store and get her some pedialyte and she has kept that down so far today. I'm not sure what Audrey is sick with, but she does not have a fever so that is a good thing. I think it may have been something she ate last night, or she could have a little stomach virus.
Anyways, I think she has already started to recover from the illness she got last night and should be just fine. I'm so grateful to be a mother and be there for my child, even though it is not always easy at times. Sean helped out a great deal as well and I don't know how I would do things without him. He really is such a good Dad/Husband, so I'm glad we have Fathers day to celebrate soon. Thanks babe!
Here is a cute little something my nephew Connor said the other day. It went somewhere along these lines.
He was talking to his mom and said so if there is mother's day, when is Man's day?
Ha ha to cute!
Overall I have had a fine mothers day, even though the day has not gone as planned. It is good just to be able to stay home with my daughter and be a mother to her.
I hope everyone has had a good Mothers Day!!

Terrible twos and happy things as well

Terrible twos has struck once again, but this time I think it is more of the real thing. I think Audrey goes in spurts, but she sure has thrown me through a loop this time around and made life very difficult. I don't know if it is because I'm pregnant and my patience wears down quicker, but just in the last couple of weeks she has developed a whole new sassy attitude. I guess it is a good thing for her to be independent and be able to state her opinion, but she sure gets sassy.. Lately if she does not want to wear something she does not wear it and will throw a fit if I even make her try. I am starting to learn to just let her choose what she wants to wear, or ask her if she will wear something. If she does not like it she will say No a couple of times, grab it and throw it to the floor and run away. I am trying to teach her to be nicer to her clothes and other such items like her toys, books etc. But she just does not seem to listen until I tell her multiple times in a row to be soft and I even show her how to be with her items. I know she is two and has a very short attention span, but she does not seem to mind, or listen very well lately. She not only throws her clothes to the ground lately, but she seems to be a little more ruff with her toys and gets mad at them. I don't know why this is, but I'm hoping it is just a phase. I think sometimes she is frustrated, because she is two and sometimes it is hard for a child to express exactly how they feel. But Audrey does not have a hard time communicating, because she speaks in sentences very well and has a wide vocabulary and she seems to understand things and she tells me usually what she wants. She always loves playing with her baby dolls and is usually really good with them, because I have taught her to be nice to them, but once in a while she will get mad at them and say no and tap them on the head, or throw them to the ground. I make her say sorry to them and pick them up and if she is still mean to them I tell her that they have to be put away, if she can't treat them nicely.. I really do not know where she picked a lot of this behavior up from lately, but I know sometimes she has little tizz fits with other kids, but not to often . But believe me as parents we are very gentle with her and turn to other forms of discipline, like time out, or taking something away if she can't be nice to it. Also, she has been very picky about what she eats lately as well, when she used to eat quite a variety of foods and now it is quite limited. She will tell me she wants to eat a certain food and I will open it up for her and then she will give me that good sassy "No" I don't want it and then she will say she wants something else, I open that and she will not eat that as well. She has not seemed to have much of an appetite lately either and I have tried giving her favorite foods, just to get her to eat because I worry about her not getting enough nutrition and she even will turn some of her favorite foods down as well. She is not really big on trying new foods and I try to offer her different kinds of foods and she just runs away. It is very frustrating when she refuses to eat and she always still seems to have so much energy for a while. But then seems to have a break down later if she has not eaten and then she will eat.... I do not try and force her to eat, but I do help her eat if she will let me. Sometimes she likes eating on her own, sometimes she just simply pushes the meal away when I put it down in front of her during meal time. She also has that great tantrum throwing down and she is good at it, but I try not to pay attention to her when she throws those, because it just helps her know she can get attention when she behaves like that and that is not what I want her to learn from throwing tantrums. I do try and talk to her at first and ask her what she wants, but she just screams and says her favorite word right now "no'. One other thing she has been doing lately is she will run up to me and just hit me for no good reason... She knows this behavior is not allowed and she will say sorry mommy after I tell her that she is not supposed to do that. But then she comes back a second time and that's when she has to be put in time out... I don't want to say that my little girl is naughty, because she really is so sweet at times as well. I think that she is just trying to test the waters right now and seeing what she can get away with, which is not much when it comes to naughty behavior. I have started reading about discipline and getting a child to behave better and I am using some of those techniques and this past week, she has seemed to be a little bit better. Like if she really wants something that she is not supposed to have, I just simply change the subject to something else and she usually will respond to that. But she does have a good memory and will try and get the same thing later, even when it is out of sight. I don't know who said out of sight, out of mind because Audrey does not seem to forget things for a long time.. Like days, to weeks sometimes. Well enough about all the negative things in my daughter's life I just need to vent, because I have been very frustrated and stressed from her behavior lately.
I will talk about the positive things now, which I'm hoping will be as long as my negative terribly two's post.
I guess I can post about Audrey's Easter experience. This year Easter was a lot more fun, because Audrey seemed to get more excited about what she got and finding things. In Audrey's Easter Basket she of course had candy, which Sean and I ate later on because she does not have much of a sweet tooth. Thank goodness!! She got a big lollipop and really enjoyed that. She got a kite, bubbles, sidewalk chalk, coloring book and crayons and a hula hoop. She really enjoyed flying her kite and had fun trying to blow the bubbles on her own, even though it was kind of a mess. She really is so imaginative now when it comes to coloring, or using sidewalk chalk. She will tell me that she is drawing certain things like a shark, dinosaur, flower, smiley face, butterfly, bird, etc. and just scribbles, but I think it is so cute that she is imagining things and trying to be creative. She knows about sharks, because she watches Nemo sometimes and she plays with dinosaurs at her cousins house. She loves to draw smiley faces and some of her shapes, but we are still working on those. =) Audrey seems to be talking more and more every day and she can really say any word now and has good pronunciation. She speaks in sentences all the day long and sometimes chats my ear off, but really she has a cute high pitched voice and is to irresistable not to listen to. I love just watching her play pretend with her toys and just seeing what she is thinking. She loves to play with play doh and loves to color whenever she gets a chance.
Audrey loves to sing and knows multiple songs now like: Twinkle, twinkle little star, row row row your boat, The itsy bitsty spider, Abc's, popcorn popping on the apricot tree and many other songs I can not think of right now, but really I guess she has known a lot of those songs for quite sometime. She does have quite the little singing voice and I don't think I will ever get sick of it, because it is so cute to listen to her. I am trying to teach her to count to twenty right now, because she has been counting to ten for about a year now, so I decided to start and she is starting to pick up on the numbers fairly fast. I tried teaching her a while ago to count to twenty and she started to mix her numbers up, so we just kept to ten, but now she seems like she is doing better now that she is older.
Audrey loves going to the park to play and she will swing in the swing forever, but loves to go down the slides as well and just run around like a typical kid. I feel so blessed to have such a healthy child who is such a spirited little thing and curious about learning new things all the time. I guess her learning experiences in life have taught me great lessons as a mother and challenges have arised, but we usually seem to get past them. I'm happy to be Audrey's mother and I love her so much and I don' t know where I would be with out her in my life. I posted some picture of her from Easter at the top of this post, so enjoy. I love how her hair turned out that day and I thought her dress was darling. Thanks! To her grandma for buying it for her.

Its officially a ....

We found out that we are having a BOY and are so EXCITED!!!!!!!

We already have a name picked out for the little guy. It will be Adam Moylen Young.
The middle name will be after Sean's grandpa's name and his first name is after Sean's cousin who is also his best friend. We have discussed this name for about three years and Sean was really set on naming our first boy Adam. We asked Audrey today if she wanted to have a little brother and she said "okay". We know she will be a great big sister and will enjoy having a baby around. I am happy that we now have a little baby boy coming into our family and feel so blessed. Anyways, I don't know an official due date, because my ultrasound said that I the baby would come on Sept. 9th. According to when my last menstrual cycle was the baby will be due August 30th, but before that my OBGYN had told me August 21st. For right now we are just going to stick to August 30th, because an ultrasound is not always precise either. Sean is happy that we are having a baby boy as well and we feel like our family is complete for the time being.

Updates

Updates on pregnancy
I decided that I need to blog about something because my last post was from when I was pregnant in the first trimester and I was a little sour towards it back then. I am nearly 18 weeks along this Sunday and should be finding out the sex of the baby within a week, or two hopefully. I am feeling much better and happier towards my pregnancy now and have a lot more energy, so I try not to gripe about things as much. I am starting to show a little bit, but my stomach looks more like I have a pooch and not a pregnancy belly yet..... It still does not feel quite real to me that another baby is coming yet, but I think it will once I get a little bigger and I start to feel the baby. =) I don't have any pictures, but I will post some later when I get big which will not be long, because I usually pop out in the 5th month.

Update o Audrey
She is doing really good and is learning and growing more and more each day. Just recently Audrey discovered her shadow and in the mornings she will go and jump on our bed when the light is out and the curtains are still closed and play with her shadow. Usually there is just a little bit of light flowing in, so that makes it perfect for her. She will jump and giggle and touch her shadow on the wall and it is the sweetest, funniest thing. Just the other day she went up to her shadow and said "Hi shadow, It's Audrey! ha ha just to cute. Other things that Audrey has learned out to do so well lately is pedaling on her little tricycle, but she has been doing really well with that since January. She is starting to tell Sean and I when she is ready for bed and she goes down without a fuss, but she has to have a gazillion toys with her..
We are getting ready to put her in a toddler bed, but I am a little nervous for how that will work out. Because she will be free to get out of bed whenever she wants, but she seems ready to move to a big girl bed. Any advice please give, because I don't think this is going to be an easy transition. I think she will like a big girl bed, but I' m wondering if it will be hard to keep her in the new bed at night.
Update on Sean
Sean is doing good these days and seems like he is ready for the semester to end. I think he gets kind of burnt out from all the pointless paperwork his professor's assign him, because he does not feel like he is learning much of anything from it. It will be better when he is in his Master's program and he can have more of a focus point towards what he is going to become in the future. Right now Sean is keeping his eyes open for different job opportunities in the nursing field and we are hoping he gets a job he applied to a week in a half ago. Because it would be really nice because it is salary based, no nights, no weekends, or holidays. We will just keep our fingers crossed and hopefully he will get it. =) He really is such a good husband/Dad and takes such good care of Audrey and I. He is always there to help me when he is at home and does not complain when I ask him for help with something. He helps me clean quite often and does chores, like the laundry, dishes, garbage duty and other things. I can't complain about that at all, but I do appreciate it so much!! Thanks babe! You are such a good husband and Dad. Oh one thing I forgot to mention about Audrey and her Daddy is she is becoming more of a daddy's girl lately, it is really sweet. She loves her daddy so much and asks for him repeatably when he leaves for work, or school and loves hanging out with him when he is home.
Anyways, I guess that almost wraps up everything I have to say. If you are still reading this far and I have not bored you, then I just want to say thanks for reading our blog.

Expecting.......

EXPECTING!!!!
Well I'm sure you can all guess what that means we are expecting a second child. I am about 14 weeks pregnant and due August 21st. I am actually getting just a little belly, so I figure the people who don't know already will begin to figure it out. At this point I am almost done with the first trimester and I can't wait to get more energy like most pregnant woman do in the second trimester. This time around being pregnant has exhausted me mentally and physically more then it did the first time around. I had morning sickness worse with the first pregnancy, but I got to sleep whenever I wanted.. Having a child already changes that and the fatigue really just wears on me and is making it hard for me to want to do anything really.. I am trying to be excited about this pregnancy, but right now I am having a hard time facing it. I know pregnancy is not always easy, so I am trying to stay positive about it and life. But I admit that I am struggling right now and hope for a burst of energy and to be more happy soon.
Any guesses on what you think the gender of the baby will be? I think that it is going to be a boy. My reason is I feel it and I had a dream about having a baby boy and holding him in my arms and it felt so real. I know people think that having dreams don't always mean something, but with Audrey I felt from the very beginning she was a girl and 3 days before we had her ultrasound I had a dream and even saw that she was a little girl. Well I guess only an ultrasound will be able to give me the final results, so I will keep you posted.
POTTY TRAINED!!!!!
Anyways, besides all that commotion we potty trained Audrey this last week within three-four days she was potty trained and I am so proud of her. The first two days were terrible, but the 3rd day it was like a light bulb clicked inside her head and she has been going ever since and is in little girl underwear. Hooray!! No more stinky diapers, until our next babe is born. Well we still put her in a diaper at night, but that is to prevent any accidents in case she goes in the night. Sometimes she actually will wake up in the night and let us know she needs to go potty. We have been trying on and off for the the last ten months to get her to go potty, so it is exciting that she has finally picked up on it.

Brush brush brush your teeth!

Audrey loves to brush her teeth, which is amazing to me. The only thing she hates is when I take over the toothbrush and deep clean her teeth for her. It is really cute because I sing a song to her while she brushes her teeth and that makes it a little more enjoyable for her. The song goes something like this "Brush, brush, brush your teeth brush them nice and clean da da da da da brush them nice and clean". I like to sing to her a lot, because she really seems to pick up on things when we sing and learns words really fast. I don't know when I'm suppose to take her to the dentist for the first time, but I hope she has no cavities when we do go. Hopefully all the brushing of her teeth will pay off.
