Dentist and Dancing

Busy week for Claire! Monday was her first ever dentist appointment. Let's just say it went as well as you'd expect your first ever dentist appointment to go. She freaked out! She loved the waiting area - it is a pediatric dentist with a big play area and huge fish tank. But as soon we crossed over to the "other side" and she saw the chairs and tools she knew she did not want to be there!
Luckily the staff and dentist were super nice, and knew just how to handle it. I'm guessing that's something they see pretty often! Her teeth look great and we will try again in 6 months!
This year we decided to sign Claire up for dance, so her first class was Wednesday! She cried when everyone went into the classroom and DID NOT want to go. I finally coaxed her into the room (which means I carried her!). When I snuck out she was still crying but not too long after that she stopped. They have a little video monitor the parents can watch to see what they are doing in class. One little snag we will have to work on is that she did the whole class barefoot! She refused to put her shoes on. When they switched to tap shoes I thought she'd want to do that, but the teacher chased her around the room a couple times and gave up. So I'm sure we will work our way up to that!
So next is school! Monday we go meet her teacher for an orientation and then Tuesday is her first day. She will be going from 9-1 on Tuesday and Thursday. I'm pretty nervous but I know she will love it - even if it takes a little while to warm up to it!
And finally, an update on Maggie! Today was my 32 week ultrasound and appointment. She is measuring right on track. They are estimating her to be in the 7 lb range when she is born. Not too bad! But a little bigger than Claire was! My blood pressure is good and I'm feeling fairly well. Definitely getting tired easier, but managing! We are finally painting the nursery this weekend so I'll post pictures soon!
I'll leave you with a few recent pictures. Enjoy :)
