Haley is 5 years old and already has 3 loose teeth. She didn’t get her baby teeth until very late at 11 mos. old and is now loosing them early. Most children do not start loosing their teeth until around 6-7. The later the better since the permanent teeth will most likely not be as crowded. Funny enough, Haley is loosing her baby teeth and my little Lily (5 mos) is starting to get her little teeth. I thought it might be helpful to post the teeth chart of when children usually get and loose their teeth. Obviously, don’t be concerned if your child does not follow this chart. My kids haven’t!

I wish you could all sleep in this bed…no, really…every mom deserves to sleep in a bed like this. Tyler is in D.C. for business, and I decided to go along with him (thanks to his wonderful mother who is watching all of our children.) We are staying at the Hotel Palomar in Arlington, VA and it is beautiful! We have a suite that actually has an elipitacal machine in it (I have mixed emotions about that since I had planned to leave everything behind, including exercise…) and the nicest bathroom I have ever seen. I asked Tyler if I could take the pillows home, but he said no. Anyway, I am enjoying spending time by myself–I went to IKEA today for 4 hours (seriously.) I watched a child melt into a drippy tantrum in the dishes aisle and I was secretly so happy. Not happy that his mom had to deal with the mess, but happy that my kids were playing at home with grandma. The best thing about being here is not having a schedule–no one to feed, no one to be back for, no one to take a nap (except for me, that is.) As fun as it is, I think about those little sweeties all day long…oh the joys of motherhood! There is nothing like it…not even vacation.

Tiffany is having a “Meet & Greet” at Now Showing this Saturday the 6th. She would love to see all the Beach Babies moms there to enjoy it. She will be there from 10-12 & 3-5 for sure and maybe somewhere in between. Tiffany will be there to answer any questions moms have about the benefits of chiropractic care during pregnancy and beyond as well as for their little ones.
Now Showing is located at Hilltop in the Micheal’s/Chick Fil A shopping center. It is a fun maternity and child boutique, and they have an area for the kids to stay entertained.

the Today Show had a section of the show the other day that was on New Trends in School Lunches - where school lunches are headed (hopefully) and ideas for brown bagging it. Some of us had kids go back to school this week or had our kids start preschool this week. I’m already in need of some ideas for lunches! I thought the menu thing was a cute idea!

So what 3-5 year old doesn’t have trouble listening? Well we just played the listening game tonight by noodleboro and had so much fun. It’s about a pizzeria and having to rememeber the toppings on the pizza you order. We were all belly laughing and Caleb was so proud of himself when he got all the toppings of the pizza right. We just kept adding to the list. They also have some really cute songs and a CD with the story and songs about listening. I am defnately going to buy the others. I purchased ours from Target. I think there are only three choices as of right now; Sharing, Listening, and Manners. Have a family fun Game night with Noodleboro.

Who gets the congratulations??!!!

For as long as I can remember, I get a funny feeling in my stomach on “Back to School” night. It is not that I don’t like school, but I really dread the summer being over. Tonight we went to the pool (for the last time) and the scene was so sad–lifeguards putting away chairs, cleaning tables, taking down the diving boards (about the only good thing was that they were cleaning out the snack bar and everything was free.) I got a lump in my throat when I looked over and saw a man grilling some hotdogs….ahhh, sweet summer. There are some things I like about fall and a few things I like about winter (mostly just Christmas and looking forward to summer) but there are so many things I love about summer. Here are a few: tan lines on my children, June bugs and fire flies, playing Kick the Can and Flashlight Tag, the Ice Cream Man and popciscles, the breeze on the beach, bikes on the boardwalk, green grapes, late nights and later mornings, baths and p.j.s at 6 P.M. after a long day at the pool, afternoon naps, flowers and rain, swinging and laughter, baseball, and sand in my sheets (oh, wait…I hate that.) As we left the pool, someone had written “Good Bye Summer” in sidewalk chalk on the street–I think that is the perfect way to bid it farwell. Anyway, as we say good bye to summer and hello to fall, enjoy your first day back to school. Or if you have younger children, enjoy your Tuesday. It won’t be long before summer is back again…I am counting the days already.
