Finger Painting....or is it?

Let me start out saying that Amber is the coolest person I know. Ok, well I work full time and unfortunately do not get as much time with Amber as I want. So when we are together we try to have a lot of fun. Earlier this week we had planned on getting a pumpkin and carving it together. Sounds great right? Little did I know that when we got to the store they would be completely out!!! WHAT!! Well we decided to look around at Fry's and found a little finger painting kit. She was very excited because she has never done this before. When we got home i taped a trash bag to the tile as protection against unwanted splatter, and let her sit on the ground and go nuts. It's a blast watching her. She thought that painting herself was the best idea. whatever, kids will be kids right? (I just noticed her Papa calmly reading in the background of the picture. ha ha)She kept saying that her bath would be like a rainbow. LOL it totally was. I have a nice memory of her first finger painting now. I love her.

Thumb sucking

Yes, Amber is still a thumb sucker! I have tried every trick in the book and i'm open to suggestions. I took her to her dentist for a follow up on the possible damage it is causing. He says there is still hope that it will correct itself. He told me for the second time to ask her not to do it. Awesome, I came here for that!!! I left a little frusterated that he wouldn't put some kind of miracle contraption in her mouth that would fix everything. Well, i told Amber that if she did really well at not sucking her thumb then maybe the dentist would get her a present. Little did I know how genius that was! GO ME! With a lot of help from her aunt Marlene and a strange surprise in the mail box from the dentist(yes i put it there) Amber is doing a lot better!!!!! I'm so proud!

Hair cuts are FUN!
