And for you older folks (heehee), no one got a hamburger cookin' kind of grill....K got a grill. And her tooth is not silver or gold (thank God), but it is a shiny bright white that is not the same as her pearly whites. Bless her heart (and her parents' hearts)...today was one of the hardest days I have had as a parent. K had to have a root canal (for some that were unaware, K fell on the fireplace and busted her mouth, obviously very badly). We left at 7am, blankie and Dora movie in tow. My wonderful friend and neighbor came down to our house with her two kids and watched C and F while I was gone with K and K Bel (thanks Lori). Another friend went with me because two people have to be in the car (one riding next to K after she has been sedated) on the way home. Hubs walked in right after they had started the root canal and was there to hold K when they were finished. We both agreed, with tears in our eyes, that this was the most heartwrenching experience we have had. We have grown to know the dentist quite well through this experience and he allowed us to be back there during the procedure and, quite honestly, it was awful! When I got home, my best friend, Em called and asked if it would be helpful for her to come over...ha...yes!!!!!!!! K loves Em and sat with her for a while (she cried on and off all day). It took several hours for K to be able to walk well again and she still does not have a handle on her emotions, bless her heart. Right now, she is reading a Dora book while I type on the computer. Here is a picture of a baby after a root canal...she looks pretty good, I'd say! We'll concentrate on getting a picture of that expensive (and a little ugly :( ) tooth another day! Sweet baby was still a little drugged...
On a lighter note, we had a GREAT day yesterday. Some of my very sweet college friends came to visit us and we had a blast. Each of them has a kiddo, so we had a fun time playing. It was great to see everyone. Here are a couple of pictures. The first one is of all the kids on the couch and the second one is on that C took of us...quite a photographer!! Take a look at the one of me, Allison, Joy, and Tricia. K Bel is fussing and Josh is looking at her like she is crazy...cute!!
I have been promising some pics of F walking for a while...mission accomplished. Here is a picture of that little firecracker!! :)
