2nd First Day of pre-school 2012

Grayden's had his 2nd first day of preschool and Im so excited about this year for him. Gray is in a montesory program with this preeschool and it is all life skilled based and all educational based! Im so excited they are doing this program for him. This will be his first full year of pre-school and he has already learned so much!

Swimming Lessons

Grayden was registerd in swimming lessons again this year. He loves swimming but he got stuck with not only a "girl" teacher, but 2 other girls in his class with NO boys! LoL Grayden loved the swimming part, but had a hard time participating with the girls :)

Grayden's metal mouth :(

I have been so stressed about my sons teeth ever since we took him to his first dentist check up back in the new year. I was actually really excited to take him to the destist because we have been soooo good with his teeth since day one. The dentist told me he had 5 cavities!!! I was SHOCKED and soooo frustrated! She said he had little enamo that protected his teeth so we scheduled him to have them taken care of. He did sooo amazing the first time he had his cavity filled and it didnt even phase him. The second time however was a different story. He was FREAKING out the entire time! So that completely ruined his view on the dentist and would NOT open his mouth for anyone else. While we were in vancouver he had a TERRIBLE tooth ache!! BUT WOULD NOT OPEN HIS MOUTH for anyone. It went away and didnt come back. I was brushing his teeth about a month later at home and noticed a enormous pea size puss ball on his gums. Off to the dentist we went and we were referred to a pediactric dentist due to his experience with a family dentist. He was the same way, so they told us Grayden would need to be put under for the operation. He had to have his tooth removed and recieve 5 metal caps over his mollars because the previous dentist did a bad job filling his cavaties. AND he would have to wear a big spacer in his mouth to hold the empty space for his adult tooth. I was so overwhelmed and nervous about this, but I knew it had to be done. When they gave him the gas and as I wathced him slowly go to sleep it was so overwhelming and I immediately began to cry......It was a scary thing but I knew he would be just fine. So Grayden got an early visit from the tooth fairy at 4 years old! That was the only cool part about all of this.

Soccer 2012

We registered Grayden in soccer this year! Soo fun and it makes me feel like my little guy is soo big! He loves soccer and we love sitting in the bleachers watching him. He loves to run around mostly but he's a little hesitant to get in there amongst 8 other boys to fight for the ball. His first day he scored his first goal! Its so fun and I can totally see how some parents get so competative! I would never be one of those moms shouting or getting angry for our team loosing but Im totally one of those moms to cheer them on winning or not!

Halloween 2012

Daxtin was miserable at the start of halloween. I had to wake him from a late nap and he didn't even want to get his costumes on. Daxtin was Iron man and Grayden was Wolverine.Halloween was really fun again this year. We ditched the idea of EVER doing the malls again, and went straigt to sharphill where the good candy is. It was the same as last year! OVERSIZED chocolate bars and over sized candy bags. Once we got going and Daxtin realized every time he went to a door they gave him candy, he really got into this and had a lot of fun! There was snow on the ground and it was pretty cold, but the boys kept givin er because it was so fun! I love how our boys (especially Gray) really understand what are bad foods are and what are good. He understands how the bad foods can really hurt our bodies and I always want to push that on my kids and make them understand that, so throughout there lives they can make better choices in the foods they eat meanwhile understanding why its not good for them. We made a deal with Grayden that he could choose TEN of his favourite candy to keep and that he could give the rest to someone who didn't get any candy. He was totally fine about it and so were we. He actually forgot about all his candy and its still sitting above the cupboards. Halloween pics 2012
