i took both chillins (children for the non-country speakin' folk) yesterday to see Dr. Rohner for their dental check-ups....a first for Grant ~ he did as good as any 16 month old could...and audrey, who did better than expected, had a tiny little cavity....Dr. Rohner said it could be taken care of with a little laughing gas, numbing the site, TLC, whatever....she was right and it didn't take long - we were in and out of there this morning in about an hour.....we didn't warn audrey of this event (who would?!?!), as far as she knew they were washing a spot of her tooth that they didn't have time for yesterday (which she quickly asked - why couldn't they do it today!?! she is so dang smart!)....she knew the word cavity = pain and we try to avoid ALL drama if possible...she blatantly informed me in the car that she NEVER wants to have her teeth washed off again! could ya blame her??
she was quite sad and pitiful when she came out so we decided to play hookie from school today and have our own school....after a field trip to target (mommy did have some errands on her day off) we came home to Richards' Pre-School (this is the schedule for her normal day at school)...

Audrey: Mommy, first we have to do Sensory.
Me: Ok, what does Sensory mean? What do we do?
A: You know touching - we can do moon sand!
M: Moon Sand it is - but outside!! (love the stuff, HATE the mess)
A: (15 minutes later) ok, all done. now it is time for the playground, i'll just play outside seeing as we don't have a swing set (nice guilt trip audrey, nice).
M: that's fine .
A: wait, what about art? we didn't do art! you make something then say 1, 2, 3 TA DA and then i make it just like you!
M: art? really, we have to do art too? do you do art EVERYDAY at school?
A: yes! we HAVE to do art!!!! (whiney voice starting)
M: fine, we will do art - but could it be just markers??
A: no, has to be paint.
--- do you get the feeling i am keeping up a conversation with a 15 year old?!?! I DO!
M: ok, paint it is.

A: i'm done with art. i'm hungry now. can i have spaghetti-o's for lunch?
M: absolutely! (well that was easy enough) but you know after lunch you guys take a nap at school, are you going to take a nap at home?
A: well, what about motor group, we didn't do that or story time or circle time (we are procrastinating at this point)?
M: we missed some of that this morning, we'll try some more school stuff after lunch and nap.
A: ok. (really, that was it?!?!)
....lunch was good, her spaghetti-o's and my tomato-basil soup ~ yum-o! currently she is napping on the floor in the living room, because at school we sleep on a cot on the floor so we HAD to do it the same at home ~ as if! her classical music is playing, she is in sweet slumber land and i am blogging - oh it is a good day so far.....
teachers and full-time stay at home moms - BLESS YOU! you all must have the patience of saints or are all well drugged :) i applaud you for all you do....while today was fun and i am sure after nap and picking up BigMan it will be even MORE eventful - i don't think i could do this everyday....yes, i am a wimp....i will go back to the operating room, slicing and dicing as my mother says....

...so mommy attempts to paint a halloween-ish picture for art for her to duplicate, what do you think?
i asked audrey to tell me about her pumpkins, her response, "well, one is sad and one is disappointed. (gee, wonder why! did they just have a cavity filled too.) and that one is green because it is old. when pumpkins get old they turn green." ahhhh, to be 4.
