Swim lessons and the dentist

This week has seen a lot of us traveling into town.  The girls have started a swim lesson class that is twice a week.  How lucky we found one that meets on days daddy is off in this time period.  The girls really like the class though Emma is a little reluctant to blow bubbles right now.  Gretta is doing it without any problems.  Emma is following directions very well and can do just about everything else the instructor is asking us to do.
Emma also went to the dentist on Tuesday.  We chose a different dentist than our other.  This one has a slide and playground in the office.  Emma didn't do well with our last dentist though they had a children's only exam room and staff.  Mommy said she did awesome and so we are going to schedule Gretta an appointment as well and see how she does.  Emma's teeth look good but she does have some deep crevices that will take a lot of attention to keep cavity free.

Purple baby has grown!


This is the area on the wall that we measure the girls and write their ages.  Emma Katherine wanted to measure purple baby.  She instructed the baby to put her feet against the wall, stand up straight, and look ahead.  
We just came back from the visit with a speech therapists with Floyd County Schools and I'll let Robyn post the details in a little bit.  The short story is Emma is doing well.  She is ahead in cognitive abilities and at the expected level for her age in reading and pronouncing some of the letters in words.  Gretta did great waiting for Emma to get tested.
