Frenectomy

Silas had his tongue clipped! I don't have a "before" of him sticking out his tongue but it didn't really stick out past his bottom teeth. The ENT suggested it may not help his speech (which is fine) but it would help mechanical things, such as licking and kissing. He went to the dentist recently and she was glad to see he had it clipped because people with short frenulums often have more cavities because they can't clean their teeth with their tongue. All in all, a good decision. 

It was traumatizing for him though. He freaked on the table and tried to run away so we ended up wrapping him in a blanket and holding him down. It bled for a few hours but he was fine the next day, except hesitant to talk about it. The days after, someone said to him, "Silas you must have been SO BRAVE!" He replied, "No, I wasn't. I cried and lot and tried to run away." 

He is over it now, and shows everyone we know his longer tongue and talks about how much nicer it is now that it's clipped. 

Frenulum, before and after! 

Sticking out! 

Easter Hunt 2015 (on April 6)

Chocolate bunnies are VERY exciting. 

Philip was uber cranky and did not participate in the hunt. 

Construction Legos? Awesome. 

NYC

Rob went to a conference in March for a few days and then he had an important appointment in NYC. I was fortunate enough to be able to meet him in NYC and we had a whirlwind few days exploring the worlds most famous place. 

Here is our trip through selfies (and one skyline). 

You mean NYC isn't fictional?

Apparently I've been negligent in the blog department. This happens every so often and I usually apologize but I'm not going to this time. It's been crazy around here and it's okay if I miss a month or so on the blog. 

I will be writing a few updates to publish in the next few days so check back soon for a new post! But you probably know everything anyway ;).
