Working up to Lizzie’s dance competitions I always suggest she choose one of her nine dances and really focus on polishing it, maybe even practice each day for a short time. Usually my suggestion goes unheeded. Last week Lizzie had a feis (Irish dance competition) and placed first in two of her dances and fourth in another. As she was collecting her medals she said, “See mom? I don’t need to practice!” (What do you say to that!?!)
Last Friday (the 20th) Sam got his wisdom teeth out. I know, it is a little young, but he can’t get his braces until his 12 year molar comes in, and said molar couldn’t come in because it was above his wisdom tooth! So they decided to take all four out while he was under general anesthetic. The poor boy had an awful recovery. It is impossible to see in this picture but over the space of five days Sam lost six pounds because it hurt too much to eat! William and Lizzie were super sweet to him and helpful. Anna on the other hand sensed an opportunity for a little power and walked up to him at dinner while he was struggling to “chew” a few bites and poked him HARD right in the cheek which made Sam cry for the pain of it. I really don’t think Anna was trying to hurt him, certainly not to make him cry. I just think she wanted to see what would happen.
