Penny's cavities were succesfully filled yesterday. The dentist decided that the gas would be enough and they were going to do it without any shots. As I was getting the text updates from The Wife, we were both freaking out a little at that decision by the dentist. Penny stayed strong though... she didn't even flinch. She opened and closed her mouth when they told her to and the entire process was about 45 minutes, which included the gas being administered. After they were done with her fillings, they told The Wife to just let her relax for a while and then they could go. Well... Penny popped right up and was ready to go home.
We decided that Penny needed an activity. We also decided that gymnastics should be that activity. This was a decision that was made at about 10am on Friday morning. By 11am, she was enrolled in a class and at 9am today, she was at the gym. I guess we can attribute that to the "go hard or go home" attitude we take on things. We weren't just going to sit around and talk about her going to gymnastics... we were going to make sure she was IN a class. While it's a beginner class, Penny still gets to work on the equipment, including the bars (just the lower one), balance beam, springboard, and the "jumpoline" (as said by Penny). Yeah... it's a trampoline... but who could correct something that cute, right? She is very much looking forward to next week's class and is hoping that The Kid will go to watch her, since she'll be at our house for the weekend.
Today marked Leonard's first haircut since joining us. We asked permission a couple of weeks ago from the parents and yesterday we received the go ahead from the kids' case manager. It was nearing mullet status in the back and The Wife had to brush out a tangle this morning. So yeah... it was time. Due to Penny's gymnastics class and The Wife being the one to take her, I got to be in charge of the haircut. We went to a place that is geared toward kids, tvs playing cartoons and chairs that are little cars. Leonard is always a little shy, especially around new adults, but he held strong today. There was a much younger little boy that was screaming his head off and Leonard was mostly concerned with that. He was very still the entire time and was perfectly fine with both the scissors and the razor. It's not like it was his first haircut or anything, but a member of their family is usually the one doing their hair, so we were worried about him freaking out.
Naps are occurring as I type... hopefully all will be just as well after the naps as it was before them. Big plans for the library and picking up an old paycheck of mine for the afternoon/evening. Windows are all open and the beef stew for dinner tonight and the chili for the real opening day of the NFL season tomorrow are cooking in the kitchen. Just a relaxing weekend... minus the packing of course.
