BROOKLYN'S FIRST TRIP TO DENTIST
Yes, I know this was a to-do item while she was 3 but I was a little behind. My dentist assured me it was ok. So, I pitched a request to all my FB friends for a pediatric dentist recommendation. I decided to go with Dr. Friend in NLR and I was very pleased. This office had big shoes to fill in my mind as my days at the dentist as a child are memories of Bippo the Hippo and that huge Twinkie and toothbrush he used to carry around, a movie room with layered level seating, and headphones at each dentist chair to listen to music. My have times changed since then! Brooklyn enjoyed the entire experience filled with a train ride in the waiting room, Doc McStuffins playing overhead her dentist chair, and a treasure chest to pick toys from on the way out! PLUS, we had no cavities...so I'd say we're right on schedule :)
GNO WITH MY 2 BESTIES
It's always a treat for me when I can have a little GNO with my girlfriends just the grown ups. However it's even more special when any of my friends can willingly incorporate my little shadow into the mix. That's what BFFs are good for and Brooklyn loves her some Miss Cher--ryl!! That's exactly how she says it...lol!
KID SWAP DELUXE
Kid swap has gotten supersized here recently with the addition of my two little divas on their recent visits in town. One weekend we were at Mama Pat's and this past we were at our house. They ate and played and ran and giggled and bossed and sang....then they did it over and over again. Note the last pic that shows the havoc they wreaked on Brook's room last night...geez!!
FUN TIMES AT FUNLAND
Brook recently attended a friend's birthday party at Funland in Burns Park and she had such a blast! It was so fun seeing how excited all the kids were each time another one of them showed up as if they didn't know each other existed outside of school. When it was time to ride rides, it was also funny to see how fast they took off together to ride the rides...lol! The crazy part of the day was when we were finally about to leave and all the park employees announced no one could leave because a child was missing and the police were on their way. All the rides shut down and we were all confined to the party pavilion as several of the employees took to the woods to find the missing child. About 15 min later, it was announced we could go because they found the child at the playground across the street!! Oh Lord! My heart sank for the mother as we awaited search news originally... But when we got that update, I wanted to go hand deliver correction to that child for that mother myself (if you know what I mean...wow)
ARKANSAS STATE FAIR 2013
Now that Brook actually enjoys riding rides, the fair is an entirely different experience! She had a blast BOTH times we went this year! Yes, we went twice-once with her Daddy and once with Mama Pat, Papa, Aubrey, and Presley. My favorite food item this year---that doggone roasted corn on the cob dipped in melted butter and sprinkled with lemon pepper....OMG!!!!
ABSOLUTELY LOVED THE EFFECT THE FAIR HAS ON CHILDREN!!
BROOKLYN AND MOMMY ❤ BENIHANA
NEW THANGS...LOL
She's growing up so fast! At the last pediatric check-up, Brook was cleared to advance to a booster seat with back attached until she reaches 40lbs. She was so excited about her new big girl seat!!! Once she learns how to put that seat belt on herself, Mommy will be excited too...lol!
JR HAIR UPDATE
You get a bonus hair section this time. Now that Brook has a head full of hair, figured I'd display some of her styles too. These pics are my shot at doing some twists on her hair. She only wore the back down the first day because they were going every which way after she slept on them. So, I pulled them into 3 ponytails for the rest of the week. She looked really cute and it was super easy to maintain. Check out the dome cap pick as she tried to get a cookie out of the cookie jar...lol!
SR HAIR UPDATE
So, remember me talking about bleaching the knots on the lace wig to make it more natural looking? Well, here's the final result of that:
Last but not least, here is a pic of the crochet twists I wore again recently. I get so many compliments on those things and people ask me to do them on their hair or their kids'. Nice to know I'd have myself a little side hustle if I ever needed it...lol!
Well my dear readers, I'll leave you with a glass that made me literally laugh out loud as we approach the Halloween holiday and a pic I saw on IG that made me think of friends and even a few family members :)
Ta-ta for now ...
