Kerrie~ I know that I've said this before, but Jack is SO lucky to have you as a MOM! You are right that Jack's "handicap" is not a big deal. I believe that it will only be a big deal if you make it a big deal. You have such a good attitude about it, I wish all the kids that I work with had parents like you!
So, what's wrong with us moms and getting ourselves to the dentist?? I have some semi-major issues with several of my teeth (going back to right after Ariel was born....), but I have yet to see a dentist. I'm such a wuss!
What a pleasant surprise to have a video blog on a Saturday! Not too thrilled to hear that it was busy at work b/c that equals lots for Jennie to do on Monday.
I hope you are getting some rest!! All 3 of your kids are lucky to have you for a mom!! I love how posative you are with each of them! I am so like Natey and being at the dentist! I have such a sensative mouth to, as to why I need to go but can't seem to get myself there!! Take care and have a nice week!!
Like your hair dark or blonde. Lebert just did mine both. Glad to hear that the dentist went good. I need to get Caden there too. Good luck doing hair. You will have to get me where you are working and I will come visit. That will be a great time for you and I to get to see each other. I would drive there in a heart beat.
you seemed a bit fidgety in your first blog...lack of sleep does that huh?
i noticed the bronco's shirt...and being that i am watching on monday you already know by now that they STUNK IT UP on sunday. yuck. we won't dwell on that.
you don't feel like it's a big deal...that's your instinct, i think. and if his mom can deal with whatever 'it' is, that's all that matters!
For your sanity, your families sanity, and Jack's future, you should not feel that Jack's "disability" is a big deal. You do not want him to grow up thinking he can't do something. You want him to grow up aware of the situation, but like Alec, he'll figure out his own limits. That's been the hardest part for me and Alec's condition. I want someone to tell me what he can't do because I don't want him to hurt himself. I know that's the wrong way to teach him, though, so I continue to remind myself that he'll figure out what he can and can't do. No big deal. :-)
You are right, the doctor didn't have to say that and it was really great of him to take that extra step to tell you so! I truly feel Jack is going to be fine, I really believe he will adjust and you won't even know he has any issues. That is just my thoughts! You are both great parents and the kids are lucky to have you!

Hey Ker!
I hope you are sleeping peacefully right now. Dawson was watching your video blog with me and said "boy, she has alot to say" LOL.
You made me gag just listening to the story of Natey gagging at the dentist. Ick. Glad it went well though...

That's exactly why, Cari - because I'm a wuss.
Will you train your trainee to video blog? That is part of your job..right?!

I just love your video blogs!! Marissa saw it too and asked how I could talk to someone thru the computer...it was much funnier at the time.
