Bye Bye Tooth, Hello School!

About a year ago Evelyn ran and fell in the kitchen breaking her front tooth. She was able to hold on to it for a while, but when we went to the dentist this last time they informed us it was getting infected and would need to come out. I was really nervous for her cause I know her temperment and how she does not like people getting in her face and well that's all they do at a dentist office. For the last check up before the tooth extraction we were able to get her to lie on my lap while they did a cleaning. She did enjoy wearing the sunglasses.

So on the day of the tooth extraction we went in early to have her drink a little medicine that is suppose to make the child more compliant and relaxed well Kyle and I both knew that would not have any affect on her, and we were right. Then they said well don't worry once we add the laughing gas to it she will calm down and be even more relaxed, well once again Kyle and I knew if there was any chance that a child would not have those side affects it would be ours. Evelyn was stronger than ever and there was no way she was going to lie still while they put the mask on and pulled her tooth. So unfortunately she had to be strapped down to the chair. We were so sad for her because you could tell she was scared and did not want to be there. Thankfully it only took about 2 minutes to pull the tooth out and she was all done. It was quite the event for her, but I am glad it is all over.
On the brighter side Evelyn started a little preschool and is loving it. She has so much fun with the other kids, loves getting on her backpack and coming home to show me all her projects she has made. It is so nice for her to get out of the house and be with her friends. She is just growing up so fast and I can't believe I have a kid old enough to go to school, even if it is just preschool.

Chloe and Evelyn anxiously waiting to go to school.
The other night the clouds and the colors in the sky were so cool that we just had to get some pictures.
