Teeth, Hair and Hands!




Having kids is really an adventure! At least in our family it is. Our sweet Analiese's tooth is coming in; but from WAY up in her palate! The dentist isn't concerned (and Dave didn't ask if the position of the tooth is caused by the cleft palate) and indicated that it will move on down into the empty spot but not before it knocks out a few more teeth. Oh boy, how fun is that going to be??
Analiese also practiced her artistry skills--on the wall! We have some very thick and greasy cream for Matthew's dry skin. I, not thinking, left it out. Analiese got a hold of it, put it on her hands AND her feet, and promptly left her prints all across the wall! Before we called her on it, we had to stop laughing long enough to take a few photos and at least LOOK stern! Of course she denied it, but faced with the fact that her hand fit perfectly, she admitted that she was the culprit! Oh my, poor Dave has to now repaint as the grease just won't come off the wall.
Dave gave Matthew his first "haircut" this weekend. We actually just wanted to trim off some of the dried, dead hair that he came home with. Since his diet has improved his hair is coming in healthier and his "big belly" (that was an indication of malnutrition) is almost gone! Poor Matthew did NOT want his hair cut. In the orphanage they shaved his head and I'm sure that's what he thought we were going to do. He was pleasantly surprised when he was left with most of his hair!
Everyday it is something new that happens in our household. I cannot imagine what the coming week will bring!
