A quick entry on my blog just to get back into the game and to tell dad not to drop his gym membership. Dad, you need to set your gym goals....what you are going to do and why. Given the knee surgeries I'm sure there are areas you need to be concentrating on strengthening, and even though you are active in golf and squash, those activities cannot directly target the muscle strengthening you need to be doing, so write it down, head there and blast out some reps ;) Kelly will back me on this when you see her in a few weeks :)
Right lecture over. Let's talk about Braeden :)


Here he is with his braces on. They went on today. Not quite the mouthful of metal Cade had, and only took a half hour appointment compared to the 2 hours we had to endure for Cade. Definitely a different experience to how it was for Cade. With Cade he reached out and wanted me to hold his hand the whole time. Braeden was good with me sitting on the chair watching until I had to go over there as I noticed his wee hands creeping up and getting ready to pull the apparatus and people away from his mouth :) Cade was quiet throughout his experience whereas Braeden questioned the staff at every step :) Braeden did so well though. Usually a kid who can have some aversions to certain sensations, he endured the " sanding" of his teeth before applying the braces. It was lovely to get to spend the day with him. Reminded me of when he was a toddler and I worked 3 days a week and we would have our 2 days off together while Cade was in school and Scott was at work. Boy how fast time goes. I've said it before and will say it again....where is the pause button on these 2?? You know Cade is so big now, I can wear his sweatshirts!!
Well I had better get off to sleep. It's 11:11 my time. My bedtime is usually 10!!
Hope alls well with everyone

Love to all
