The kids are starting to do things that I did with my brother back in the day. Last night, on the way home from swimming, Brandon turned to Peyton in the backseat of the car, and said, “Okay, let’s see who can stare the longest and not blink.” Peyton said, “Oh, okay (like she’d played before).” I was driving, but chuckled listening to them. Brandon whined, “Mommy, she’s beating me!!” Haha…I could just imagine Peyton being, well, Peyton. No one can break down her stare. At a red light, I turned around, and she was in full-on Peyton mode, staring at Brandon, who was smiling and giggling, eyes already half-closed. Ah, Brandon. Maybe one of these days.
Today, we went on a field trip to the dentist’s office. The class was split into groups of 4, and the groups rotated through 4 different stations. At the first station, the hygienist said she was going to take a “toothprint”. She asked for a volunteer, and Brandon’s hand immediately shot up. He climbed into the chair, and she took an impression of his teeth. He requested his bottom teeth, which has a mix of adult and baby teeth. They didn’t actually pour it, but did label the tray, so I’m hoping we may get the impression later somehow. There was another station talking about healthy eating, another with a camera showing x-rays, and showing them the different dental tools. It was less than an hour, but this was the first time I had someone else’s kid in the car with me. Though we were only a mile away, it was still a bit nerve-wracking. Sammie was sitting in Peyton’s chair, and I swear she weighed less than Peyton. I helped her into the chair, and buckled her up. The buckles, set to Peyton, were looser than they are on Peyton. She’s at least 2 years older than Peyton! Yikes! The car ride over was pretty quiet, as Brandon wasn’t saying anything and Sammie is naturally quiet. I had to ask her questions just to get her to talk. I guess once she was comfortable, she started telling us about her car seat, her grandparents having one, and something about her carseat in her dad’s car changing. I’m glad both kids made in to and from in one piece. I went home, ate some lunch, then went back to do yard duty. Today was easy, since Brandon was a bit hurt. I like to share this information with others, because there are so many benefits and I guess it’s not wrong order levitra to assume that it’s funny so long as it does not affect you.

This disease is been noticed viagra uk sale nowadays in many men around. He said he hurt his leg running, but did keep running. I ignored it, but the yard duty saw he wasn’t being himself (because he was calm) and asked him what was wrong. She asked him if he had told his mom. I looked over and smiled, then continued to half-ignore him yet still watch him at the same time. I think he just wanted to make sure he didn’t get in trouble because I told him if he got all greens today, we could cash in his free birthday ice cream. When I picked him up from school, I told him we had to go home and do some homework first before going to ice cream, then picking up Peyton (ice cream is by her school). So we sat and read from the computer program, then Dave walked in the door. Brandon became surly shortly thereafter! I told Dave that he was doing a good job listening until he came home! I had to send Brandon up for a timeout which lasted 9 minutes. When he was done, he had to finish up what I had been working on with him, then we headed out. Brandon and I got up and then he asked, “Um, Daddy, are you coming?” So we went to ice cream as earned, then ran into Sally and her boys, who had just come from a dentist appointment. We got Peyton right after that. Peyton had just woken up when Dave walked into the room. Brandon followed, and then I entered. She didn’t want to get up or move around. She’d taken off her shoes and socks (the kids are supposed to sleep with them on in case there is an evacuation needed), and was slowly putting them on. I went over to help her move quickly, and we all went to the library. I was looking for the Little Mermaid, but it wasn’t available. We found some other movies, and went home for dinner. Since we’d gotten home so early, the bedtime routine started early, and the kids were in bed by 7pm. They both seemed cranky, and Brandon was definitely tired. Peyton is still up and about at 8pm, but I’m pretty sure he is out cold. Tomorrow, running will start again. While I would prefer to have something to “look forward to” or train for, I will resume healthy behaviors now that we are back to double parenthood.
