Dentist

The kids had an appointment at the dentist this afternoon, and it was quite fun. Sabrina, her second time around, acted like a pro. It was wonderful to hear her answer the assistant's question without hesitation. As for Mathieu, who was going there for the first time, it was just amazing. The assistant told me it was quite rare to be able to complete all the steps with a three year old. While paying I was told something like "I heard you had wonderful kids" or something alike. I should be used to it by now, but they were really well behaved.

As long as we don't give Benadryl to Mathieu, he's a charm to be around.

Sitting on the chair the assistant is adjusting to her height, Mathieu turns to her, palms opened:

"You guys didn't tell me you had a magic chair".

renovations

We've done a lot of renovations this past week. The carpet on the steps have been replaced to something that's more contemporary. The "beautiful" pick tiles in the entrance, and the funky black ones near the fireplace have been replaced with a tile that match the house better, as well as our still, which is very earthy. We've also had the entrance closet doors changed to something a bit more classy. We should receive them in 4-6 weeks.

The last major changes this spring is in the kitchen. We're getting a green glass backsplash and have had lighting installed under the counter. The lighting is great, we should have the backsplash installed within the next 2-3 weeks.

Then I'm working on the mouldings.
