it has been so gorgeous out lately that I usually take the boys for a walk in the morning.(avery and the other little boy i watch who will be 1 next week). As I am walking past a neighbor's house the dog comes to great us. Cute little 5 month old choc. lab. I pet him, say hi, he sniffs the boys. By this time, the owner has reached to top of the hill, asks where I live on the st. and who was in the stroller. So I say its avery and J. She asks how old-Avery will be 17 months, J will be 1(so that makes them about 5 months apart). Her response.....
wow! nothing like having them close, huh?
I respond well only Avery is mine, the other little boy I watch. It isn't even remotely possible to have kids 5 months apart, unless adopted or some fluke in having twins. I knew this day would come when I would get that response...but it still surprised me!
On another note: my poor husband came home from the dentist yesterday not a happy camper. Some of you know that I have had quite a bit of work done on my teeth in the past 2 years that included 2 root canals and 2 crowns plus quite a few cavities filled.
well he now has 5 cavities that he has gotten in the past 6 months. Of course I feel bad b/c I know what it feels like to get your whole mouth filled, but also it was a "haha, told you so!" moment. I am always nagging him about brushing his teeth. Now he does do it every morning, but not always at night...he is like a little kid that I have to force to do it. I am very adamant about my teeth brushing and I still get problems!
He is worried b/c its going to cost us a pretty penny out of pocket to get them fixed and we currently have no dental insurance or money to pay for it either. Unfortunately it will probably go on another credit card, not that we want it too but if we let it go then it will only get worse and cause more problems for him and money wise.
the cause of his cavities is apparently drinking coffee through out the day. it takes your mouth 20 mins to neutralize after drinking coffee. when he was drinking it all morning it causes his mouth to become more prone to cavities. He is also taking allergy medicine that they say dries your mouth out so there is no saliva, plus he doesn't drink liquids during the day like he should. so he is now brushing his teeth at work after coffee and lunch.
they really need to make dental insurance affordable for everyone!

Some people never cease to amaze me... do you think they even realized that there was no way you could have kids that close together? LOL
