Teeth and Allergies

Sara Beth has been super droolly this week. Her top two incisors came in last week and now her bottom two are struggling to poke through, and so Sara Beth is doing her best impression of a faucet. Adding to that, she and I have had allergies this week, so add a runny nose to the mix, and you have a recipe for a gooey mess. She is also starting to work on her emotions, and like most things, she does it with intensity. She can go from laughing and giggling to crying and throwing a tantrum in seconds. This past week she was in her first music class laughing and crying interchangeably. We have tried this week to take advantage of the fact that it is very easy to make her laugh hysterically. Here, Sara Beth cannot stop laughing as Heather flips the Play-Doh container around.


In this case, Sara Beth and I were playing a game of Peek-a-Boo. We were just getting ready to go to church, when she decides to start running through the house. I hide behind the counter and then pop out and snap this picture.
Sara Beth has picked up an affinity for bringing her purse with her when ever we go in the car. She will pack a couple of her small toys along with her sippy cup into her purse, and only then will she be ready to head out the door.

Sara Beth loves to "help" with the chores. She will carry her silverware from the table to the dishwasher. She will ask to throw away trash. She loves it when I give her some junk mail and help her throw it in the recycle bin in the garage. In addition, whenever she sees us begin to sweep the floor, she will attempt to take the broom out of our hands and do the sweeping herself.
