I'd say this was Shae's first visit to the dentist... but we did make one try when she was 3, which resulted in full on meltdown screaming (on my part) and tears and refusal to cooperate at all (that one was Shae).
BUT - today we had resounding success. No complaints, no tears, no screaming, and NO CAVITIES! All it took was the offer of a Toys R Us run after. Yes, I bribed her. But we got a full inspection, cleaning and fluoride treatment out of it, and it only cost me a Teacup Piggy.
THEY'RE GONNA DO WHAAAAAAAT???
Looking a little nervous for what's to come.
The cleaning... shades to keep the light from bothering her eyes.
Shae - whispering to Mike this morning... I hear the following... Mike: Out of her bumbum? And her penis? She doesn't even have a penis. Shae: Yeah! Mike (to me): She says when she was a baby she drank out of your bumbum and your penis. Me: Yeah, no. My boobies. You drank out of my boobies. Shae: Oh yeah. I drank out of her boobies.
You gotta wonder what Kindy teachers hear on a daily basis...
I woke up at 5 am... and waited patiently for Shae to wake up at 6am!
Shae made out okay - an Easy Bake, Furby, Walking Dog and the big surprise - a Hot Wheels Jeep! There's a 2 part video below (the build up was interupted by our friendly neighbour haha) showing Mike's setup :)
Mike - we're hoping to see him again soon... he got a PS3 with Assassin's Creed III. I'll be timing him on my new Bulova diamond watch!!
It's Christmas Eve... and we've already celebrated Christmas with my parents and Gigi and my brother and nephew. It was a glorious weekend of sledding, presents, family and TURKEY - in pretty little Flinton.
Brampton is snowless, but none the less, my home town pulled through and gave us a very mild, snowy Christmas to enjoy.
On the fastest sled "Green Goblin", with threat of a watery death, and smiles to boot.
Survived! Repeat x10000
Getting Jett in on the fun.
With Uncle Shae and Dylan
My loves
Then, there was Gramma and Grampa's tree and presents... with great expectations!
The cousins getting their groove on:
The long drive home MAY have started to get to Shae...
And at the end, we arrived back in Brampton, read "Twas the Night Before Christmas" and tucked a VERY excited Shae into bed... and Santa came! I can't WAIT to see Shae's face tomorrow morning!
...the jolly fat man! Shae is already so excited for Christmas. This weekend we hit up the Santa Parade with friends Pamela, Jacob and Layla. Almost 2 hours of fun to ring in the 2012 Christmas season.
Shae's full of insight about Santa as well... noting that Santa is just like the garbage truck. DO you know why Santa is like a garbage truck?

So, I'm slacking. I skipped a biggie - Shae turning FOUR. And I mean to post that. I've just been, well, not blogging.
Annnnnyway... this year, Shae wanted to be a princess - again. I even bought her a kick ass gown a couple months ago. Then, Hurricane Sandy came and rained on our princess parade. So we hit Old Navy on Sunday to get something more likely to not allow Shae to freeze to death, and have other parents look at me negligently letting her freeze to death.
I also participated - in a beard toque I made. I was very warm as well. More warmth = more candy haul.
