Hole repaired


Lucas now has some bling in his mouth. We went for his first dentist visit about 2 weeks ago because he had a spot where food kept getting stuck. We are so good about brushing teeth and they even brush them after lunch at Nee Nee's. The dentist said due to the placement and the good condition of his other teeth that it was probably developmental. So...today we had to go have his hole fixed with a silver cap :(. I was dreading it because he actually had a good first experience and was looking forward to going back...now that's all changed, unfortunately. I had to lay on top of him to keep him from pulling on their arms and sitting up. I figured, better me than a stranger. I would have hated to have seen it without the laughing gas because it didn't seem to do much to calm him. I told them to crank it up! Afterwards he said that it didn't hurt it was just scary. He's sleeping now. He cried himself to sleep because he was exhausted and he said "I don't like this in there". I think it's rubbing on his gum. Hopefully we'll have only good visits from now on. I will definetly take some bribery to get him back there, but I figure I've got about 5 months to do it and for him to forget this!

Sunday at the Zoo



Yesterday was the first day without CRAZY humidity so we decided to go to the zoo. Joe hasn't been able to go with us yet this summer! We had a great time and were home before it got too hot.
Lucas with the lemurs. "King Julians" from his favorite Nick show "Penguins of Madagascar". We ended up buying one at the gift shop. It's the first time we've ever gotten anything in all of our zoo trips, but I was clear that this was not going to become a habit!
Feeling the love with the penguins. My sweet little boy.
Hold on Kate!
This hippo really liked Lucas! He kept swimming up and giving him a kiss.

We had quite a busy day today. We started off playing outside most of the morning. Then we had a guest, Kate's gal-pal, Isabelle, Danielle's daughter (4 mo.). She came over and Lucas "babysat 2 babies!" He was so excited to be a helper. Thank goodness he napped from 1:30-4:15!



At 5:30 Lucas had a rain make-up tee ball game in the blazing heat, but the other team didn't show up! We got a little practice in anyway. Afterwards, GG brought Lucas some new googles to sport while he was cooling off. Look who joined him after mowing the grass. Truly a summer day!
