The Pigeon

We are back at the library for story time in March.  Sage loves it and so do I!   Last week she made this pigeon.   It is a fun time for her and I get a little break:  Win/Win!

Lunch Date

Yesterday we had a lunch date with Sharon.  Sage was so excited to see Sharon and so was I!  Sage chose the location - Big Apple Bagels.  Sharon took this picture of Quinn and I.  Had to share it since I don't get many pictures with my girls!

Sisters!

I love watching these two interact!   Sage loves to hold, kiss, and talk to Quinn.  It is fun to watch Quinn try to respond to Sage.  Quinn was fussy the other day and I put her on the blanket to have some alone time!   Sage had to join her - they both enjoyed it!  Love these two sooooo much! 

Cavities

A few weeks ago Sage was complaining about a tooth hurting.  It lasted for a few days so I called the dentist to go have it looked at.  It turns out she had a cavity between her molars on both sides.  They were so deep that the dentist wanted to put a filling on each and then put sealants on the rest of her molars.  Sage has been going to the dentist since she was 12 months old.  She is is not a fan of the dentist and it would have taken at least 4 appointments in the office and us probably having to hold her down to go that route.  We decided to go another route - a one appointment deal - but she had to be put under general anesthesia.  It was not an ideal situation and we felt terrible.  We brush her teeth twice a day but we weren't as good about flossing.  I did tons of research about the procedure, talked to our dentist, emailed a friend who is a dentist, talked to two family friends that are are in the dental field.  It all led us to the fact that this was the best path to take for Sage.

She did so good.  We told her that the dentist was going to fix her teeth while she took a nap.  She couldn't have anything to eat or drink the morning of the procedure.  She did great!  We got there and she was full of questions.  We told her they would put a mask on her and then she would fall asleep.  She was excited to hear that the mask was pink!  There were a few tears after they took her away and those were from me.  But she did amazing!  So from now on there are no sticky foods - gummy bears, fruit snacks, gum, etc.   She is handling this really well and knows she can't have that stuff because it is bad for her teeth.  So proud of her and how she has handled this situation. 

 This was right after she came out.  She was still sleeping and was pretty groggy when she woke up. 

After a nap at home she was ready to eat.  She could only have soft foods that day.  She was loving all the ice cream, pudding and cheese.  Don't worry we brushed her teeth that day - lots!

New scissors

Sage has been using her scissors lots for cutting practice.  They did some cutting practice at school and now she wants to cut all the time at home.  The scissors we had only cut paper.  She was getting a little frustrated with them.  So off we went to Joann's last week and found her a new pair of scissors.  She has been cutting away with those new scissors!

Take note of her outfit - she picked it out that day.  

Our very colorful girl!

Bike Ride

Here is a video of Sage riding her bike last weekend.  I see lots of bike rides in our future!

Bike Ride

Last Saturday it was in the 50's!   We enjoyed some time outside and Sage wanted to ride her bike.  She has been on it outside only one time before.  So she was really excited!   She had so much fun riding up and down our street. 

Puddles

Last week we had some beautiful weather it was in the low 40's - it felt like a heat wave!  We went out for a walk two days in a row.  It was so nice to be outside.  One day Rebecca, Lydia and Cora joined us on our walk.  We put the babies in front packs and the girls walked along and jumped into every puddle they could find.  It took three days for Sage's boots to dry out!

Snowman Crafts

One afternoon when we were stuck in the house I got out a bunch of crafts for Sage - it was Snowman Day!  She had so much fun making all of her snowmen!   I just hope we don't get much more snow this winter.  We have had enough!   We are ready for Spring and to be outside.

 

 Not a snowman craft but since we had the marshmallows out I figured it would be a good activity and she loved it!

All her creations!
