teeth and popcicles

nothing super stupendous is going on here...thus the lack of posting. for the last week or so either eli, lyla or i have been sick, which is why we've been so lame lately. doing nothing rubs me the wrong way. i'm ready to get some fun on.

eli had his "surgery" yesterday. because he is so young, he has to go under for dental work. this means the whole shabang is done in an operating room at the hospital. he got 3 caps and 1 filling. for a grand total of 5 silver teeth and several white fillings (so, so, SO thankful they are all in the back). the dentist said we should be out of the woods because every tooth is filled or has a cap. she was encouraging and said his "oral health looks wonderful", meaning his gums and brushing look good...and they should, we work hard on that. i'm hoping and praying that his adult teeth are stronger than his baby ones.

lyla is just being super cute. her mommy skills are ever growing. this evening while eating popsicles, eli dared bring his into the living room. lyla bellowed, "eli! eat that outside!!!" that's my girl.
