OH GOD!! Not the Dentist!

If you've known me for awhile you will know that my kids, well actually just Corey but Ally follows his lead is deathly afraid of the dentist. This last night I did research and found a great kids dentist, all kinds of toys, video games and even cartoons playing on ceiling tv's so they can watch while in the chair. We put Corey first and he was not having it, kicked screamed you name it. So we thought ok, we will have Ally sit there and if she can do it a big boy like Corey can do it. Nope backfired and to make it worse Ally bit the dental assistant. They took us from the open kids room to a back consult room because they said MY kids were scaring all the other kids. We get back there and Corey still will not cooperate and continue to cry and scream and it ends up being at least 4 people holding him down with me at the head so he knows its ok. It was one of the worst experiences of my life.

I guess I really just don't know how to deal with this kind of fear. I mean as a child I was scared of things but was always just pushed to do it. And I guess even as a child I had that person in my head telling me I had to be perfect everyone is watching so crying and screaming was never an option.

Did I mention that last dentist appointment was one of the worst experiences of my life, so here we are over a year later, I KNOW BAD BAD MOMMY, but it was seriously awful and I needed to make sure I could get an appointment where Kevin could go because no way was I doing this alone. I have YET to tell them they are going to the dentist, I'm too afraid of having to drag them in from the car WHICH I HAVE DONE AT PRIOR APPOINTMENTS. I'm thinking I'm going to take them out to breakfast and BUTTER them up with some smiley face pancakes, well smiley face for Ally and and plain only circle nothing else on the plate for Corey. LOL

Wish us luck.

The Wiggles - Past & Present

Its been awhile since I've blogged, I know, I know SHAME ON ME. Today I had a deja vu moment and my first thought was I need to blog again. HAHA I'm so lame.

On 2/27/04, Kevin, my mother in law and myself took Corey to see The Wiggles in concert. He was such a HUGE fan that is was seriously one of the most exciting parenthood days.

Here I am with little man way back in 2004

And today in 2009 here I am with my Ally. I wish I would have looked at these old pictures before we went because they had they same light stick for sale. I ALMOST did buy it but was afraid Ally would use it as a sword and that would have been BAD. I stuck with the very soft harmless pillow guitar.

I still can't believe SO MANY years have past and the changes that have happened AND I still can't believe that The Wiggles are still going strong. LOL I really thought that after MY yellow Wiggle couldn't perform anymore and then they replaced him with a younger guy that the Wiggles were done but NOPE they are still going strong. Sam is an ok yellow Wiggle but her could never be as good as my Greg. :op

SUCKA

Yep its offical not only am I a sucker but Kevin is too. Few weeks ago Ally's school call to tell me she had a fever and to pick her up. I went and picked up my sick baby and stopped at Albertsons on the way home to get some medicine, some popicles and whatever else she wanted to make her feel better. When we walked in I saw the Redbox and asked her if she wanted to get a movie. While standing in line for pick a movie this little man approached us about this old fashion photos. He gushed over how cute Ally was and how I just needed to get a photo of her. He pointed out that it wasnt my turn yet for the Redbox and I had plenty of time to sign up. Ugh, when it comes to photos of my kids I just can't help myself. So we went last Saturday to have our pictures taken. I wasnt completly sure if we were dressing up or not so I had us where matching outfits in case. It was a dress up shoot and if you know me you know I have OCD where everyone must match or blend when having a picture taken or just going out. Yes I have issues. For them to pick out clothes for us killed me, but I only looked once through the clothes for Ally until Kevin told me to stop and just wear what they gave us. I knew I wasnt going to be crazy about the famly picture because it was a weird pose and they made me wear an ugly hat. I was always told I looked like that chick from blossom adding this ugly hat didn't help. The kids photos though were super cute.

Yesterday I sent Kevin to go pick up the 11x14 picture that was part of the deal I bought, I knew I would have a hard time walking away from those expensive super cute photos of the kids. Surprise surprise Kevin came home and said "they suckered me" and he had bought the super cute photos of the kids. Luckily for me he has some restraint and only bought two sheets.

The funky family photo, I couldnt scan it so its a pic of a pic

Doesn't Corey look like he could be in that Newsies movie lol

Ally looks girlie and a whole lotta trouble all in one

Painting

Today is grammy's birthday and the kids were very excited to make her a gift. Since its such a special birthday and she will be here in two weeks the kids painted today and we took pictures to send to grammy to show her what they made. They are over the moon excited to give them to her. Corey called and explained to her what they looked like. LOL

Motherhood

My favorite episode and any ideas as to why it make me think of my life? LOL

Small Sunday Thoughts

I LOVE MY DAUGHTER TO PIECES!!!

She is seriously the funniest character ever. Corey was my silly masher man but Ally seems to be in a whole another league of silliness. I love that they are so different.

Potty training is going GREAT now, Im so dang proud of her. But Little Miss Independent she is, she said to me.... "mom I clean my butt, you clean your butt" Thanks for the instructions little one. LOL

She's a crazy mix of tombot and girly girl its so funny. OMG she LOVES baby dolls, not that she's all that maternial with them but loves them anyways. She has one of those dolls that open and close theirs eyes, well this one is broken (wonder how that happened) and while we were taking a bath with the doll she is shaking this poor thing screaming OPEN YOUR EYES BABY!! OMFG the funniest thing ever. All I could say was maybe the baby wants to take a nap.

One of the other things Ally is all about right now is friends, everyone is her friend. She told me the other day that I was her best friend AWWWWW!!! Seriously to here her say "mommy your my best friend" just melted my heart.

Its been an adjustment with Ally nonstop talking when Corey was her age he really didnt say much. Ally seriously never shuts up, she talks about anything and everything. She always says "mom gimme your camera I wanna take a picture of the sun" and I will say no why do we need a picture of the sun? and her response "BECAUSE its beautiful" hahaha I'm counting down the days to her birthday because she's going to be SO EXCITED to get her own camera. Yes she is her mother's daughter.

Now I better scram because mommy and Ally are going shopping. At first she didnt want to go and then I said "are you sure?" and she thought about it and said "ok we go SHOPPING YEAH" hahahaha I LOVE HER!!!!!
