Halloween

Halloween was a great success this year. I had the day off and Luis got off early so we were able to go up to Jace's school for their little in house trick or treating. The kiddos were so cute most of them were really excited to get all dressed up but there were a few that just cried and cried.

After the daycare events were through we took Jace to Trick or Treat at the Panther Creek Shopping Center in The Woodlands and my parents and Pete & Amanda with little baby Elizabeth were able to meet up with us. We all had a lot of fun and enjoyed seeing all the kids (and some adults) all dressed up.

We didn't have many trick or treaters at our new house so we were able to go to several houses and by about the 3rd one Jace had the routine down!!!

We are already starting to think about what he could be next year, maybe one of the 3 Amigo's, although we know he will probably want to pick out what he wants to be himself next year(please God not Barney!!!)

1st Dentist Appointment

Jace has his first dentist appointment today. I went prepared with a bag full of toys that he could carry in with him. We got there and it was a kids dream with a little game room for the kiddo's & everything, the only problem was Jace got really shy and wouldn't leave my side. I ended up sitting on the floor of this little game room with Jace in my lap and me with a clipboard full of paperwork to fill out, that was somewhat difficult to say the least. After getting all the paperwork filled out we had a 45 minute wait which would normally be a nightmare but Jace was excellent!!! He was so anxious to go sit in "the big chair" that you could see thru the window of the waiting room and I told him he had to wait for his name to be called so he just sat patiently - what an angel. He was so excited when they finally called "Jace Hernandez" and followed the assistant to the back room. They put him in these super colorful sunglassed to protect his eyes from the bright light. He just loved it and thought he was Joe Cool - I will make sure to have my camera next time to capture the cuteness for everyone to see. Right after Jace got to check all the equipment out the dentist came in and took a quick look, then the assistant whisked Jace away to get all of his goodies so the dentist and I were able to talk.
Jace has a pretty good underbite but the dentist believes it is strictly a dental issue and not skeletal, which is a great thing. She said in a year or so we could pursue trying to push out those top teeth that are slanted inward but either way it will not help or worsen how his permanent teeth will come in. So overall it was a great visit and I got the information I wanted to know. He was so well behaved that they are going to try to do a cleaning next time which will be in about 6 months. He can't wait to go back. If he only knew what the future holds :)!!!!

Phrase of the Week

"Mama, what ya got there?"

Could he be any cuter? I don't think so!!!
