Parker has been going to Grace (day school) on Wednesdays and Fridays this summer. On one of the days Rylee and I had some "girl time" I took her to lunch and then to the mall with Nonnie aka Lisa. We were walking past a store that did ear piercing and I half jokingly asked Rylee if she wanted to get her ears pierced. When she said yes I was shocked and wanted to jump at the chance at getting it done. She seemed a little hesitant once we walked into the store but when Nonnie offered to get hers done first it helped her confidence about it. They said they were going to do one ear at a time and I was thinking "oh gosh, I am going to have to hold her down for the second ear". I was wrong though! She did amazing. The girl doing the piercing was so fast and Rylee didn't cry or even flinch. She got to sit and my lap and squeeze my hands but once it was over she was perfectly fine. She got to pick her earrings and they are little pink studs of course. So pretty! :)
Rylee was due for a dental cleaning this summer. I had to prep her for weeks because our last experience was pretty traumatizing. I assured her that this time was ONLY a cleaning and it would not hurt. She did great and the hygienist said she scored a 100 on her brushing. I couldn't be happier about this!!! They mentioned her cross bite again and the appliance they want to put in the roof of her mouth. I just looked at them like "uh no". I told them that I was not going to consider doing anything like that until she is at least 7. She is SOOO not mature enough for something like that. I already traumatized her with the fillings she had to get last year. Lets have a few good experiences first before we put a dang mouth piece in that you have to turn with a key. Poor thing. She will probably have to have braces too like her mommy and daddy.
The kids have been swimming a lot already this year. They both have major tan lines and it is so cute to me. Actually JP's tan isn't very cute because of his eczema. The eczema spots don't tan so he sort of looks polka dotted! Rylee is doing so good swimming underwater and JP has no fear. He will just jump right in which is why he never is near the pool without his floaty suit on.
Parker has been obsessed with his baseball cap lately. Literally he is sleeping in it. When I take him to bed he won't lay down until we bring him his hat. He just stands up saying "mom, I want hat" over and over. It is pretty funny and he looks so super cute with it on. I guess I don't really mind but I just need him to let me wash it! He is such a big boy now. He identifies everyone by name now and is even trying to sit on the potty. Nothing has actually happened on the potty but he is definitely showing interest way earlier than Rylee ever did. Oh and he started to saying "I love you" this past week. It melts my heart and I want to hear it all day long :) :) :) I can't believe how good he is talking.
We had a fun 4th of July weekend. My mom aka Granna watched the kids Friday-Sunday and we had some "adult time". We had so much fun hanging out with some of our best friends. For the actual 4th of July we had fun swimming with the kids and even got to watch some fireworks on the lake. They didn't start until 9:30 but we let JP stay up so he could see. As he was sitting on Adam's lap he feel asleep with the loud fireworks going off in the sky. I guess he must have been PRETTY tired to sleep through all that excitement :)
Rylee has already gone to vacation bible school twice this summer. She loves it. They get to do crafts, sing songs and learn bible stories. I might even send her to a 3rd one in August. I have so many fun memories of VBS and I hope she will too.
Ok well that is all I can think of so far. We will go to Comfort to visit Nanny and Poppy in August and also looking forward to Parker's 2nd birthday party. I can not believe he is going to be TWO next month!!!!!! My baby is growing up too fast and it makes me sad :(
