The last few weeks have been unbelievably hectic so I am trying to play catch up! Since my last post, we have had a few events of note. First, the day before Mother's Day, Emma was playing around on her ballet barre, attempting some sort of aerial acrobatic move that involved somehow hanging upside down. Either way, she should have used her stunt double because she landed face first and knocked out one of her front teeth. I know I covered this in my previous post, but I wanted to follow up with the fact that her other front tooth was also traumatized (as was her mother and father) and had been hanging lower than it had. We took her to the dentist to say all looked good and that it is a good thing she is tall for her age because she can blend in with kindergartners and first graders now! He also told us to have her wiggle away because her other tooth won't get tighter and we might as well try to get it to come out too. Apparently with baby teeth it is okay to loose them early (although not ideal), whereas if these were her adult teeth, she wouldn't be able to get an implant until she was 16. Being that I don't want to move to Kentucky anytime soon, I think we will get her a mouth guard for the remainder of her childhood years.
On Mother's Day, I took Emma, Glenn's Mom and my niece Daeja to the Doll House Tea Room for Mother's Day tea. It was a really cool set up that included dress up complete with jewelry, hats, shoes, etc for adults and kids alike; hair and make up for kids; and tea and sandwiches for lunch. The girls had such a great time and I even dressed up in some old prom dress!
Another recent discovery was Emma's love for Lady Gaga. She informed me the other day that she had to send an e mail to LG to invite her to her birthday party. If only I was that rich! While doing her business on the toilet the other morning, she was singing "Paparazzi". She also loves "Bad Romance". I'm not sure that this is the best role model given some of the content of her songs, but they are catchy to say the least!
Signing off for now, I'm sure there will be lot's more to write soon!
Today, Emma and I (Christina, because we all know that Glenn wouldn't actually write this!) went to the Multnomah County Fair. It was a nice day (rain was expected but we got none!) and Emma had a blast! The best part of the fair was that it was free - that and watching the dog jumping competition. Emma and a great time at the petting zoo and on the rides. This is the first year she has shown interest in them (the rides I mean).
