Took both girls to the dentist this morning and both are cavity free!  Avery doesn't like the dentist visit very much, but she gets lots of awesome stuff, a princess toothbrush, a balloon animal, stickers and a toy from the prize vending machine.  Bailey likes the video games but she thinks she's getting too old for the pediatric dentist.  

We dropped Avery off at daycare and took Bailey to the optometrist.  Bailey almost doesn't need glasses.  We ordered her a new pair, but they aren't 100% necessary.  Bailey's eyes have improved quite a bit but her astigmatism hasn't.  She definitely won't need to wear glasses for sports which is great news.  

I'm still blind as a bat.  One eye is -7.0 on the squinty scale.  

I'm so proud of Bailey.  12 years cavity free.  

Junior high

Bailey is 12 now and is getting prepared for Junior High!  Nick and I went to our first parent orientation.  It was informative and we have made the decision to send her to SUMMER SCHOOL!  Bailey is doing excellent in school but we think it is an affordable, structured activity that she can benefit from socially and academically.  She is devastated of course.  We have ruined her summer. She also has to catch the bus for an 8am class for an entire MONTH.  Our former early-bird is definitely growing up.
