Unicorn Tooth

Kiah has had a few loose teeth.  I though for sure we would be singing "All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth"  and mean it.  But Kiah DOES NOT wiggle her loose teeth.  I am not sure if it freaks her out or what... but it is a huge no-no in her book.  She waits for them to naturally make their departure.  Because of this, her teeth began to shift and move to the side.  So when the first one fell out it created the picture below.  It looked like she had one pointy tooth right in the middle.  Then in reality it was one of two in the middle and was now hanging funny.  

I am not sure who coined the term unicorn tooth, but I am glad it cam around because snaggle tooth seemed too mean!  I wish I had gotten a picture of her with her mouth shut because that is when she looked like Nanny McPhee!

Allergy Testing

We decided to take Kiah in to have some allergy testing done.  She has been having a problem with a runny nose, no matter how much allergy medicine we give her.

The test showed she had allergies to cats and dust... and there wasn't much more (than what we were already doing) to solve the problem.  Of course she could have allergy shots, but seeing as how I have to pin her to the table with the help of 1-2 other people in order to get her flu shot..... or even the scratch test above I opted out of that.  Maybe someday when she gets a grip in her fear of needles we can pursue that route..... but right now my nerves can't handle it!

Primary Talk on Missionary Work

She wrote this talk mostly on her own.  I gave her a few scripture stories to read out of the scripture reader, then we talked about them.  I asked her a few questions along the way and helped reword a few sentences.  


Missionary Work Blesses Everyone

Missionaries work to preach the gospel and it blesses everyone.  They teach about Jesus and Heavenly Father.  They also teach us that Heavenly Father will bless us when we obey His commandments.  Some blessings everyone likes to have are love and peace. 

Alma was a missionary that taught people not to fight, to share, to serve, and to love others.  He also taught them about baptism.  Alma still teaches us today.  Everyone who reads the Book of Mormon can still learn from Alma and receive the blessings of Alma’s missionary work.

Proud to be Me!

Kiah brought this home from school.  I love seeing what she has to say about herself!  I love seeing the fun spelling and the backwards letters.  It is perfect!

First day of 2nd Grade

I don't know what is up with Kiah's funny face in this picture!?  Maybe it had to do with getting the morning routine worked out.  The first day wasn't as smooth as I would have liked.  The plan was for Eli to be picked-up by his bus at 7:30 and then I would take Kiah to school at 8.  Well, somehow we missed Eli's bus.  The neighbor across the street was kind enough to let me know it had come and gone.... and give me some in sight into why we missed it.  It is a different driver, and different bus this year.  So the bus stopped in a different spot.  And the horn honk was barely a toot!  But I think we have that kink worked out now.

It is had to believe she is in 2nd grade!

So I was trying to snap this picture of Kiah so I could get Kiah to school and then take Eli to school, before the day was over for him!  He did ride the bus home that day.
