tooth fairy time...



after many dramatic tears and weeks of worrying about her tooth being loose, kaia's tooth finally fell out today as she was eating Chipotle (how appropriate! :) haha. in fact, she almost swallowed it...after a few seconds of sifting through 1/2 chewed up rice and black beans (sorry, TMI), i found it. now, it's safe and sound in the little pocket on the tooth fairy pillow case i made a few weeks ago. now, i hope the tooth fairy can stay awake until she falls asleep...it's been a long day! i love you, kaia and your new adorable smile.

she's funny.

when i picked leia up from pre-school today, i asked her teacher how she did with the glasses (it was her first day wearing them to school) & she said, "fine...one of the kids asked her why she was wearing glasses...and she said, 'because i can't take them off". well, that's 1 reason. : )

"i can see...."

well, we picked up leia's glasses (her "back up pair"...her really cute ones won't be ready for a few more weeks) & she put them on and says, "i can see the wall"...then we went to Costco & she says, "i can see the fans" (way up high on the ceiling)...on & on she went. poor girl, the dr. said she's probably never seen totally clearly so i am SOOO excited for her new vision. but, more importantly, i'm so thankful that her pre-school caught the fact that she was having vision issues so that we can help her "weak eye" to correct itself (actually with Amblyopia, it's training her brain to learn how to make her eye work correctly). okay, well...here's my little doll right after she put on her new glasses seeing clearly. so sweet!

just for fun...


almost 5 months!!!

SNOW...a love/hate relationship!

this weekend we went took the kids up to the snow...our friends sally & emme came with us. it was pretty funny...on the way, the kids were SO excited! they were all chanting "snow, snow, snow!" at first we tried to go where we went sledding last year (Yucaipa) and there was NO snow in the sledding area so we drove up the mountain toward Big Bear to a place called Forest Falls and there was a TON of snow but not a great sledding area. "oh well", we thought, this'll work. so, we got out and found a little spot where we kinda made a little hill to sled down & everyone was having a great time until the COLD set in. oh yeah, and did i mention that kaia and leia didn't have snow pants on...just regular ol' sweats (the snow pants i had for them didn't fit...oops). to make a long, dramatic story short...we didn't stay too long, just long enough to sled a little, have a few "my leg is stuck in the snow" moments (yes, some areas were THAT deep!), and some" i don't wanna wear my gloves 'cuz a little bit of snow got in it"...and then having freezing hand" moments. yeah...all 3 girls cried before the day was over...but the day wouldn't really be complete without tears, now...would it? ha. ;) as we drove off to come home, kaia said something like "i don't like the snow!" hmmmmm, do you think she'll forget that by next year? probably.




















that night before they went to bed, i asked leia, "did you have fun in the snow?" and she says, "yeah, but not the "cold-en-ess" a new word she made up. so cute.
