The Kids

Yesterday Maelin and Mama were driving to the shops to spend some time together walking around. On our way there we were talking and Maelin started to get frustrated. Out blurted, “I want baby XXXX to come right now!” (of course in the whiniest toddler voice you could imagine. So I asked her if she was ready to meet the baby, to which she replied so matter of factly, “I’ll catch her when she comes out of your privates so she doesn’t fall.” I then asked what else she would do with the new bab, I asked if she would like to help baby nurse and she said, “Yeah, on my boobies, because they have milky in them.” Could you get any cuter than that?!

Maelin is really excited to be a big sister. We went shopping for a few things for the new baby on Sunday night and Maelin was picking out stuffed animals for her.

We spent some time at our friend Matt and Kate’s house on Saturday and Maelin got to hold a 7-month old that was also visiting with her parents Theresa and Chris. Maelin was so careful with her.

Maelin has her first dentist appointment on Wednesday. It’s more of a checkup than a cleaning. She keeps saying that one of her front teeth is hurting, and since two of her teeth never popped through we want to make sure they aren’t impacted. We’ll be going to see Dr. Tony, who was recommended by Mama and Popa’s dentist, and who our friend Oliver goes to. We’ve been trying to prepare her mentally by reading lots of books about the dentist and talking to her about it, but she still has a lot of anxiety about it. Papa will be taking her, so wish us both luck.
