Medical Updates

On Wednesday, M&M Dad took both girls back to the dentist. Jr. Princess got her filling like a trooper (clearly better than me), and Starshine had her tooth pulled. Here she is showing off her fabulous new gap...(Not sure why her hair was so scary.) IT's barely a gap because the big tooth is so far up already! And here they are showing off their awesome sunglasses they got as prizes.

On Monday they were told they would get prizes for not crying (check), but Jr. Princess was outraged that another little girl cried the whole time and still got a prize!

Then, on Wednesday evening we took Starshine to the Optometrist because we had noticed that she couldn't read some things from a distance. She did test to be slightly near sighted, but surprisingly they now recommend holding off on glasses for as long as possible (as long as it's not affecting her school work), and even then to take them off for reading and close-up work. I guess the theory is your eyes start to adjust to the prescription and then start getting worse. When M&M Dad was a kid, they pretty much made him get glasses right away and he was constantly told, "why aren't you wearing your glasses." M&M Dad commented that the fact that medical theories have changed is a sure sign that we are getting old, similar to the feeling I have when I don't know any of the dinosaur names anymore because they have all changed.

Love the Sunglasses! Are you girls off to the set of High School Musical? You look like movie stars!

Starshine, can you whistle with that new smile of yours? You look great and so does that new tooth. Please let us know what the tooth fairy left and whether you used the box or just put the tooth under you pillow.

Love you, Grandma L
