Luke is possessed and Tiberias is on fire. We were at Showa Kinen park.

 

Sunday

 This morning Tiberias dressed for church and came to me for help getting his hair styled. When I saw his outfit I said "You are dressed like a clown." His shirt was a striped white, aqua green and grey. His tie was a blue and silver square pattern. It clashed and was too busy.
Tiberias responded "I don't look like a clown! Clown's wear RED! I don't have any red on!" LOL

Athena likes babies now...human babies! During sacrament meeting she wanted to rub toddler Ezra's head the whole time. He was right behind us standing and playing with Athena. She had her Poochy character plush and was playing with him. To be fair....His hair is really soft.

Just Going to the Dentist

 All of the kids had dental appointments this last week. The dentist said Tiberias teeth are in really good condition. When it was Athena's turn the dentist said that her teeth were in pretty good condition. She had two tiny cavities that are not a problem and might go away on their own. Athena needs to start flossing to prevent more mini cavities inbetween her teeth.
At Luke's appointment the dentist said that Luke's teeth are in really good condition except...his second moler on his right side is coming in underneath his first moler. Meaning, he will probably need surgery down the line to remove one moler. Then he might need braces to correct the other moler.

Athena's visit was pretty funny to watch.

First she needed xrays of her teeth. The big piece that is placed inside your mouth...she didn't like it. Athena pulled it out and said "That's not comfortable." She seemed to expect that she wouldn't have to have xrays done simply because she wasn't comfortable. I had to say "Athena, it isn't comfortable but you have to deal with it. Make it happen." She then did what she needed to.

Next when she was laying down in the dentist chair and it was time to wash out her mouth and use the suction straw to remove the water etc, she raised her hand and stopped the straw from entering her mouth. "I don't want that!" she stated. Pretty soon she found out that she was going to have to allow the vacuum inside her mouth against her wishes as well.

The dental nurse thought Athena was spunky and ...she really is. 

Update on the Kids

Update

Athena learned about the Cheshire cat, from Alice in Wonderland…when I started hosting Wonderland tea parties. However, she got it stuck in her head that it is pronounced Majeshire Cat. She always says “majeshire cat”…as if that’s his name. It’s actually cute and funny. I remind her the real name and she almost immediately reverts back to majeshire.

 

Tiberias found a new friend at Middle School…Kai. He likes manga/anime. He lives here on the east side and is about the same age. That’s exciting and wonderful. Now Ty, Logan, Kai ,sometimes Brandon and sometimes Escher run around making up games they call “Larping.”But more than acting things out they just verbally create characters and a story and walk around creating this story. They don’t dress up for it but they do sometimes carry around toy weapons, swinging them around , as they talk.

 

Lachoneus is in high school now. One day at the beginning of the school year I went to his school to substitute. I was in the lunch room monitoring the entire school during their lunch break when I observed Luke. He sat at a table with three friends. Two I knew and one new friend. 1^st, I was excited that Luke is social enough to choose to sit with friends. The high school has a “wall flower” option; nice comfy chairs for sitting alone …against the wall, with a tray table, watching the rest of the high schoolers. 2^nd I was excited that Luke had a new friend…and furthermore…this friend dressed and looked like a normal kid. Not a weird kid. Luke is weird and his friends are weird. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. I myself, Tiffany, was weird in high school (by choice)! Normal was boring. I wanted to have fun! I wanted to be different in an interesting way.

It wasn’t long though before this new friend showed his true colors. He placed his lunch bag over his hair…on top of his head and left it there for 35 minutes! Until the bell rang.
