Aerya's Sudden Dental Visit

I was looking at Aerya's teeth while brushing them the other night and noticed a dark spot on one of her molars. We got a dentist appointment and Aerya was so amazing during the visit.


We've read Little Critter's Dentist Visit book several times and she remembered each part. Critter has a cavity in the book and since I suspected this would be the case with Aerya we talked about how he got it fixed (with a needle and everything!)

The dentist confirmed it is a cavity (with 2 more brewing) and she'll have to go the specialist to have it filled. Aerya was actually disappointed because she didn't get the needle that numbs her tongue.



Because she was such a great girl and sat still while her teeth were examined and polished she got a Barbi doll gymnastics coach.

Unfortunately, she has teeth just like her mom with deep pits in the molars and super weak enamel to boot. Each of my molars have fillings in them and I'm so afraid that hers will be the same. The specialist is going to seal her teeth after filling the one and cleaning the other two. Hopefully this'll help, but any suggestions would help!!

My Little Ponies

Aerya introduces us to her ponies and then sings the song of her favorite two; Pinky-Pony and Clover.







Aerya comes up with incredibly elaborate stories with anything at hand. Her best stories usually involve completely inanimate objects like socks (not puppets), brushes or CDs.

These are a few of my favorite things...

Aerya the photographer snaps some of her favorite things.

Meux-a-la-king.

This is a pic of the camera itself!



Aerya's babies have just this week been allowed to wear clothes. Since she was able to do so, Aerya has removed all clothing from all her babies and bears. She's never explained it to us, though we have asked. I asked the other day if the poor babies could put on clothes and she agreed. We went to the Thrift Store and got clothes, socks, hats, bibs and jammies for each of them. She cycles through the outfits in about 5 mins, then when she's done playing they get naked again.


Inside the little crate is a kitten. She loves that it's an animal that she can tell what to do, and it'll actually listen. Today kitty got a time out because she hissed at Aerya after Aerya wouldn't share a treat with her. Stay tuned to the My Little Pony post for more imaginative animal play.


This is a little wooden cat at Grandma's house.


I deleted the pics of me as they were mostly bum shots.

Finally, pigtails.

For the first time in years, Aerya willingly put pigtails in her hair. She readily accepts barrettes and likes that they keep her hair out her eyes, but for some reason she has hated ponytails.









Okay, maybe she was a bit reluctant at first, but she's grown to like them!

Princess Party

Aerya was invited to her school-friend Taylor's 4th birthday party this weekend. It was a princess party and all the little girls dressed up like their favorite princess. Amazingly, there were no duplications! Aerya went as a purple princess (much like the Princess and the Frog), but really chosen for the color only.



Sarah (Taylor's Mom) made an amazing Little Mermaid cake complete with rocks, a sandy beach and an ocean of blue jello.






The girls had a great time playing together, trying to 'pin the diamond on the princess' and decorating beautiful crowns.




And here's our gorgeous drama-queen as she finally agrees to leave. Happy Birthday Taylor!
