New Teeth= More Effective Biting!

Well, Natalie is in the process of growing 2 more top teeth. I looked in her mouth the other day and there they were. She seems to be doing fine with them. Both of my girls were pretty easy as far as teething is concerned. Natalie is so busy and daring and feisty. FEISTY is the #1 word I use to describe her these days. She knows what she wants and will make sure she gets it! It's really cute, you know she understands alot now. We can sing some songs and she attempts to do the hand motions and she plays with some toys correctly now (rather than just trying to eat them all). Smarter and smarter by the day!

We went to the circus about a week ago. It was the circus of the senses which is a one hour long circus for people with disabilities. It has sign language interpreters, braille programs, a short circus with no intermission, etc. Anyway we normally take our classes at Partee but Gwinnett County has said no longer so we give our kids free tickets to go with their families and there were some extra tickets so Clint and I took the girls. It was the Big Apple Circus at Stone Mountain that puts it on so all seats were great seats. It is the perfect circus for little ones. Their attention span was perfect for it. Natalie actually enjoyed it and clapped at appropriate times and her little eyes followed the show all around. Melanie is actually understanding it better and better each year. It was a really fun family night.

Melanie finally had her 3 year old dr. appointment on Tuesday. She did great. She was a bit weirded out by taking her clothes off and that changed her personality for the whole thing. They wanted her to put on a typical gown and sheet to cover you lower half and called it a princess gown. Melanie threw it on the floor and told the doctor it wasn't a princess gown it was a napkin and she wasn't going to wear it. She told the doctor her favorite food was steak- whatever silly girl. But she got a super check up- no shots needed. She weighed 32lbs (60th %) and was 38 inches tall (70th %) so right where she has always been- growing great! The only small reprimand we got is that she doesn't wear a bike helmet- probably b/c she can only ride 5 feet- but knowing her she would probably fall at her 5 ft flat ride. The camera is in Clint's car so I will put new pics soon but all in all life is great.

Oh! My job interview is Wednesday (Elizabeth and I are going to interview/observe many different classes)- wish us luck! It is going to be an odd type of interview b/c I am also going to be examining all of the sites as a potential customer also b/c I am checking them out for the girls as well as for possible work. I'm so excited!
