These are the words B keeps saying to us. She is just DONE with summer! She is ready for fall, and football, and pumpkins (especially the giant blowup pumpkin at the corn maze across the street), and Halloween. So, even if we can’t make the temperature drop any faster, we can certainly get in the fall spirit (so I am guilty of fall/Halloween “creep” – sue me). First I found this head band. I LOVED it, but wasn’t sure what she would do with it b/c it is so big. Let’s just say she wore it for something like 3 days straight…I think she would wear it all the time if it stayed on a little better.
Next, we headed to the library and got a stash of Halloween books. My little engrossed bookworm…
While shopping at a Kmart that is going out of business, we even stumbled upon Halloween costumes at half price. It was a tough choice (green skeleton? purple witch?), but she finally settled on the purple spider witch (mostly b/c she seems to love witch hats). Note her scary witch face. 
I’m with B – is it fall yet??
Anyone who has spent any time at all with B knows she loves Finding Nemo, and as a result, has developed quite a fear regarding dentists (seriously, whose brilliant idea was it to put a stupid scary dentist in a kids movie?). Well, after much discussion about how that was a bad dentist and how we would never take her to see a bad dentist, she went with me to see my dentist. The most I hoped for was that she would sit in the chair and let the hygienist count her teeth, but she did so much better than that!
Getting ready – nervously sitting in the chair with kitty while watching cartoons.
Letting the dentist check her teeth while she sat in the chair all by herself (while her teeth were being counted and tickled (cleaned), she basically sat in the chair on top of me).
All done!
She did such a great job! She even let them floss her teeth, and she was very excited about the orange tootbrush the dentist gave her and the orange bracelet she got from the goody basket. We were so proud of her!
