O.k..so I have fallen behind on the blog thing. As others can attest to-I have been pulled in by the ever-addicting Facebook. Besides this, I have been heavily stalking EBAY lately. I guess I just have a pretty addictive personality. I get on a kick and stay there-a LONG while...
Truth is, I didn't have many new pics to post. I find that I take less pictures the older my daughter gets. I know it is sad-but there aren't as many of those "firsts" anymore. Plus, would I be a mean mom if I said she was kind of in an awkward stage? She has an expander on her palette and only two brackets on top teeth but a huge bungy looking band across the top. This is only phase 1-STILL....it is going to be a LONG road. She has my screwed up teeth. When I was litte and had no room for teeth, they just pulled those suckers! So, I am short a couple of teeth. I also never lost any teeth on my own-they were pulled. Well, Dev is just like me. Lost 1 on her own (she knocked it out) and the other 6 or 7 were all pulled. They are just expanding her palette rather than pulling teeth. This preventative method is a little scary because I am afraid she may need a second whole round of braces when she is older.
New stuff:Last month she went away to camp for the first time! Super scary (For me). Just kidding. We were both nervous. She was fine as soon as she got on the bus and got home saying she had a great time. I worried the whole time-mostly about the camera I allowed her to take-such a scrapper.....It was a camp in Simi Valley run by the Jewish Bureau of Education. She missed school on Friday and they came back Sunday afternoon. It was a good practice for longer camps down the road. She slept in a cabin with 12 other girls. They had 2 toilets and 2 showers inside....she didn't think the cabins were very nice though. She isn't much of a roughing-it kid. What if she had to actually camp in a tent??? OMG! Would she just die? She even asked me if she had to use a porta-potty....Hee heee-bet she wouldn't have gone if I had said yes.I will post camp pics-there aren't many...
Also, only time she could get away disobeying the dress code at Irish dance so she wore green for St. Pat's of course....
Spent Purim at temple for a carnival. Took Devyn's friend Grace with. Had a lot of fun. They played games, jumped in a jumper and slide, did the sack race, crafts, dunk tank, etc. They were taking bids to dunk the rabbi. Top bid was like 75$ to dunk her! Devyn dunked a parent. The rabbi would only sit up there so long. But all the money went to charity. In two weeks we have Mitzvah Day at temple (good deeds). We are working at the Hemopet center. We walk retired Greyhounds. The dogs donate blood for other animals, I believe. It has been a rough past few weeks. Too much going on.....
Devyn was in a play today-she was the narrator-25 lines to remember. I will post pics later. She is in a fashion show at Nordstrom's on Saturday and the following week has a speaking part and sings in the choir at temple. Glad to know my child isn't shy.....
