A total brag session

Here she is... after perfectly landing her first olly ( ollie?) Just kidding.. but it kinda looks that way huh? Seriously the child has the most awesome balance...I wouldn't put it past her to figure out a few tricks over the next coupla months. As some of you may remember, HIP started asking to learn how to skateboard a few months ago. So I buy them these little boards.. and guess who doesn't like to skateboard?( the whole instant gratification thing is BIG with this little guy.. and possibly a pair of pants... so the grip doesn't sandpaper his knees and other fragile points) Millicent on the other hand took right to it and we had trouble getting her to stop kick flipping and rail sliding along the fireplace hearth. ( ha.. another joke... those are the only 2 skateboard trick names I know... thanks to Rachel Abby @ Reach for the Beach 11 years ago) I might hafta take Millie Sue's little self up to the Gaithersburg skatepark and see if there's anyone there who can give her some cool tips. Notice the " wummer woman" tattoo on her inner arm. Millie and Holden also went to the dentist for the first time yesterday. They did and awesome job. Millie Sue even got an x-ray ( due to some tooth pain) and she sat perfectly still. The office is something out of an interior design magazine. It's called Kid's Teeth. The decor is completely modern and kid sized. The "tooth brushing station" consists of a cement countertop w/ a clear glass bowl, and this totally cool mod nickle faucet. All kid friendly. Each room is set up w/ an animal theme with really cool murals. The aquarium bowls that are set in the walls are way neato, and the sounds of the animals of the rainforests playing on the surround sound through out the joint is totally relaxing. The added touch of video games, large foam blocks and computers in the waiting room are key... and the really neat waterfall wall is a major attraction. I'm telling you I begged to have my teeth cleaned there. It was AMAZING. Dr. Alalouf must make lots of $$ to be able to set his office up like this. Not one corner was cut there, that's for sure. Anyhoo... yesterday was a big day for my "babies" who have recently informed me that they are no longer "babies" they are "big kids." Okay then.
