Well first of all I would like to say congratulations to the parents on their blood pressure reading.....excellent :-)

But now onto the all important update on cade. Mondays brace fittings and tongue tie cut went well. Braces fist. Cade acted like it was nothing!! Then the tongue tie. A little problem getting the area anestetised led to Cade deciding he was going to deal with that by digging his wee nails deep into my hand. I wanted to yell at him " I paid my dues when I delivered you!!!" but I stayed smiley and supportive, and relieved when they finally got the area numbed up enough. "Do you want to watch?" asked Dr Robinson, well of course yes was the answer. I put the special glasses on so I could watch the laser procedure up close. I have observed orthopedic surgery, I have seen things you wouldnt want to know about, but watching my sons tongue tie be eliminated by a laser, now that made me queezy!

The video footage of him sticking out his tongue is rare. He has not done it since. Some swelling underneath for the first couple of days, and continued tenderness to this day has stopped him from practicing his new party trick ;-) He has also dropped 3 lbs since the procedure. The braces mean crunchy,chewy, sticky food is out of the question. Eating is a lot slower. I'm thinking of asking for some for me just so I can lose a few pounds :-)

As for Braeden, nothing new there. He and I went to watch the movie Gnomeo and Juliette today. Cute, but I think I watched Braeden more than the actual movie. I think my wee Braeden may actually be a wee romantic at heart. And without Cade there we had soda, popcorn and sour gunmmies, all forbidden foods for Cade.

So thats it. We have had some snowfall, nothing stayed though, and now bitterly cold temps. I am having a hard time even getting out to walk the dog. With my thyroid condition, once I get cold I have a lot of difficulty getting warm again, so basically I am a big baby who right now is happiest dressed in 3 layers and getting under the bedcovers :-) Thank goodness for Scott who happily throws a sweatshirt on over his shorts and t shirt and takes Holly off to the dog park to play.

Now, thats all folks! Hope alls well with everyone.

Love to all

Lucy xxxx
