Why Do I Love Kingwood? Let me count the ways...

People have always asked me if I like it here, in Kingwood. I always say that I love it and it's kid friendly. But Mikey said something recently that truly made me realize why I love it. We were going to the 4th of July celebration at Town Center. They have booths set up, a stage, music, grass so you can lay out a blanket or just sit in the grass, space walks and food. Mikey made the statement that we couldn't expect anything like this in St Bernard. And we all realized that if there was an event like this in St Bernard, that there would be smoking, fighting, cursing, drunks, people walking around half naked and just having no respect for anyone, not even themselves. It's the complete opposite here, the place is packed with local teens hanging out and families with their children, if people are drinking, they're holding it together pretty well because you sure can't tell, there's no cursing, I have yet to see anyone smoking in the midst of the events. So when I say it's kid friendly here, it truly is. And that is why we love it here. Of course I'd love to be close to my family in LA, but we have a 4 year old to raise and this just seems like the better choice for her. I'm not criticizing the people in St Bernard, I used to love it too, but now that I'm a Mom and I have seen what else is out there, and what I can offer my child, it's an easy choice to make. She comes first, and that's the way it should be.

Dentist Appt tomorrow

Phoebe has an appointment with Dr Butler tomorrow morning. I am hoping that she will cooperate. She did okay last time but was still a little terrified from her first experience (with that horrible dentist!). Tomorrow we're hoping to get her teeth cleaned. I'll post an update after we get back. Say a prayer and/or wish us luck!

Phoebe did amazing at the dentist! She let them floss and polish her teeth! We let her choose where she wanted to eat after and we all went to Wendy's for lunch. We are so proud of her!!!

Update on Swim Lessons

Phoebe had her 2nd swim lesson today. I wasn't able to go this time, but Michael and Phoebe gave me the report once they got home. She put her head all the way back in the water, and started learning how to float on her back. We bought her some goggles the other day and she went underwater 3 times with Ms. Stacia today! I asked if she wore the goggles and she said yes and she said she kept her eyes open underwater. I'm really glad that we chose Ms. Stacia because Phoebe is really cooperative with her.
