TUESDAY
after a night of almost NO sleep i got up to take Kai to the dentist to have his braces fitted. on our way there he was telling me how scared he was and that his heart was thumping. what a wee shame, i kept telling him it'd be ok, he'll be fine. he tried to do a deal with me, you know like the other one when i had to give him a fiver if he was brave. "NO WAY" i said, i was out of a fiver the last time. so while we were waiting, he was getting more and more nervous. then the time came to go in. he sat in the big dentist chair and the big dentist man looked into his mouth for about 4 seconds and said, "your braces will be ready in 3 weeks". Kai looked at me with a look of confusion and relief, but he'll have to do it all again in a few weeks time, so no braces yet!
went to bed early to catch up on my sleep and Dex had me wakened most of the night losing his dummy. he had a wee restless sleep too.

WEDNESDAY
tried to get out to help Steven in the garden today but Dex didn't want to be in his buggy watching us, so i took him a wee walk round the park and gave him his first ever shot on a swing! his face didn't really show any emotion at all so i took him back out again.
went to B&Q to get more soil improver and ended up getting loads of wee alpine plants, 3 for £5!!! we've got lots of space to fill so we'll have to get other plants as well but these will do for now.
after Kai came in from school i managed to get out for a wee shot of weeding. was out for about an hour, but it looked like i only got a tiny bit done! then Steven took over and finished the wee bit i started while i went in to feed Dex and to put the dinner on.
gave Dex a bath in the sink tonight (so you could say i gave him a sink, no it doesnt sound right), he loves it! got me soaked while he splashed his wee fat legs, got everywhere else soaked too. its great to see his wee face enjoying the water. had an early bath myself tonight, all ready for another early night.
