Dental work and kindergarten kick off!

 I am not feeling myself this week. It's a hard one, Wednesday Beau is having a dental procedure where he will be sedated that I am dreading. Carolina will be spending the night with Pam the night before because beaus procedure is early...not early enough. It was supposed to be at 7:30 it got pushed to 9:15. The earlier the better because he can't have food or fluids after midnight and the first thing Beau does when he wakes up most times is nurse. It's going to be an issue! But anyways we want him to sleep as late as possible so we don't want him to wake up when we're getting Carolina ready for school. Dane is taking the day off to go with us. It's also Carolina's kindergarten kick off...could not have been at a worse time! But hopefully Beau will be doing just fine her event isn't until 5pm. 

Monday morning we were running a little late. Dane and I got carried away talking. We all dropped Carolina off at school together. Beau and I came home and he started to fall asleep so I was laying him down on the couch and he sat straight up and said "mommy what you do to me?" LOL uhhhh nothing Beau! We decided to play outside and he told me my Tahoe was dirty. So we went to the car wash and vacuumed it after the wash. We came home to detail the inside and tires. I have more to vacuum but I only had enough quarters for one round. Beau thought it was the funnest thing to hang out in the car. He's truly a BOY! Monday evening Dane was working on a four wheeler at papas house so we went over there too. 

Tuesday Carolina woke up pitiful! She told me she was tired and didn't want to go to school. I think the time change is getting her! We've been accidentally staying up late because it doesn't feel late, but then we feel it the next morning when it's time to wake up. We all took her to school again. I'm trying my best to disguise my anxiety and distract myself from beaus dental work tomorrow...I've stayed busy packing bags for both of them and making sure chores are done at home so I can just snuggle him as much as possible today and tomorrow. My sweet baby boy. Some of his nicknames include:

Mister boy, mister sweetheart boy, mister sweetest boy in the world 💙 that may sound funny since he is so temperamental like Donald Duck BUT he truly is a sweet boy and I've called him these things since birth lol

Sweet girl ready for her sleepover at nana and papas! 

Beau getting all the royal treatment, a bowl of ice cream before bed! 

Morning picture made me feel better!

Beau was grumpy. He of course woke up wanting to ride and we had to tell him no to everything he asked for which sucked. We loaded up early because having him home near the kitchen was upsetting 

We sat in the car until they let us know they were ready. We did okay until we got back to the room and I got super nervous and started needing to cry so I walked out and stood around the corner for a minute to compose myself. I sucked it up and went back in talked and played with him until the dentist came into consult. She said she may not be able to save the teeth it depended on their structure when she did X-rays. Pulling them was an option and we decided against it, we told her if she couldn't save them and they weren't posing any other issues to just leave them until a later time because he needs these teeth until he's about 8 years old and he isn't even 3 yet. I just prayed and prayed she would be able to save them. I had lots of people praying for him I don't think anyone else got a word in with the big guy that morning it was all about BEAU! 

They gave him the shot of sedation medicine in his thigh while he was as sitting in my lap with his arms and legs around me and he went from crying to NOTHING and his little arms just fell and he let go of Danes hands and he was dead weight. It takes 3 mins to work. So for 3 mins I sat there PRAYING and singing you are my sunshine and Skidamarink a dink a dink until they came and got us. He felt 20 pounds heavier when I carried him to the procedure room. We got to stay while they put the oxygen mask on him and then we had to say goodbye. It was completely pathetic looking and I fell apart. We sat in the waiting room and after about 10 mins I told Dane they must have been able to fix his teeth or they would be done because there would be nothing for them to do. 

I got a whole new perspective about parents sitting in waiting rooms worried to death about their kids, I prayed for families who go through worse situations with cancer and other illnesses. After 30 mins they brought us back and let us know they were able to save his teeth! I was SO HAPPY! So grateful God answered my prayer!! 

Never happier to see this handsome pitiful  face 

I picked him up and wanted to rock and love on him and soothe him and they told me not to because it would keep him in a state of sedation and they want him to wake up. They needed him to answer a simple question and hold his head up to dismiss us. The dentist said that he was SWINGING on her on the table, she had to stop and ask if he had the medicine LOL that's our boy! I had told her before that he would be her strongest patient today and I was right. She said that is absolutely not normal! He metabolizes medicine quickly. I asked him if he wanted to watch kid crew (his fave show) and he shook his head yes over and over LOL fortunately Dane and I got some laughs....unfortunately for beau it was at his expense haha. It took him a sec to shake his head yes but then it was like he was stuck on repeat! He did the same thing when we asked if he wanted to go see papa! 

I asked if he would share his cars with papa and he said "no" LOL they were super impressed with the way he was talking and awake even though he was clearly drugged 

When we were able to leave (he asked us to go bye bye LOL) and that was proof enough to them that he was good but he was not allowed to walk, even though he was like a little drunk person who thought he could. We walked to the car and I saw a woman sitting in her car alone bawling and I could hear her car speaker saying "I don't want you sitting there crying" from probably her husband. I went and knocked on her car window and asked her if I could pray with her and told her 45 mins ago I was her sitting there bawling waiting on my baby, and I couldn't imagine being alone. She said I could pray so we did and then she told me that she actually works there and she knows the details of procedures and that her son would be okay but that doesn't make it any easier! Mamas do not like to see their babies like this! 

As soon as I got back in the car beau with his slurred speech had all his cars in his lap and said "mommy you wanna play with me??" Me and Dane cracked up and I of course said yes. We took him to Pam and karls because they wanted him up a little longer. Well let me tell you, he was trying to walk run climb and ride bikes over there I had to have a hand on him at all times! He was stumbling all over the place saying "I do it myself!"  

He had more ice cream than he's ever had this day, and Dane said he was having the best day because we didn't tell him no about anything or holler at him lol 

Dane took us home and he took a good long nap that was much needed and then Dane picked up Carolina from school, then it was time for kindergarten kick off! 

Let me just say I was super stressed about this important event....it was NOT what I thought it would be! 

I don't feel like it was organized well...and it was aimed towards new students not existing ones moving up...but that was not advertised on all the million flyers and bulletins posted. There was actually no reason for us to go! It was for new students to register for kindergarten they said she would register in the summer.....OOOOKKKAY THEN! 

But they enjoyed having a cookie and juice and coloring 

They were really excited about touring a school bus! Beau loves anything on wheels and Carolina would be riding one the next day for the first time for her field trip 

A long loooooong day came to an end and we felt grateful thankful blessed 

Thursday the 13th. Carolina went on her field trip to see 2 piggies and an elephant at the Main Street theater in Houston. I joked with her teacher that I put her in an orange tutu so they wouldn't lose her LOL She had a great time telling me about it and eating lunch outside and most importantly....RIDING THE BUS! Lol 

Friday before spring break! YAY!!!

Met with our besties at just love for coffee! Beau LOVES babies! So sweet. Carolina prefers Ellie but likes the  baby okay too. Beau has a thing about opening the door for Ellie and Melanie and the baby! He always rushes to open the car door for them 

Dane came home and left for New Orleans for a three day job. Saturday morning they played so well and I gave Carolina her mermaid from Christmas to open finally  

Cheeky boy 

Sunday the in-laws came over after church and helped me do all of this! So thankful because it was heavy trash coming up and we only get heavy trash twice a year. Beau is a hard working man and loves being involved! Carolina prefers being inside with the television and AC, much like myself when I was young LOL

Day ONE! It doesn't look like much but it was a lot of work!
