At her last dental appointment, Syd's dentist said it was time to have her cross bite looked at by an orthodontist. We are entering that phase of dental insurance and scheduling many ortho appointments...in phases! Syd's missing her 12 year molars for some odd reason, but does have wisdom teeth, per her x-rays. She's excited for her ortho consult...for now.
We took advantage of a lovely March day to visit the Como Zoo. It's a city zoo and with Covid 19, it was a bit strange to have everything closed except the path to see the animals in their smallish habitats. The kids had a great time taking pictures with their cameras and comparing their favorite animals. One of my happy places was the conservatory with it's humid and bright dome and wonderful plants.
Aaaand, we have a teenager. A Covid birthday with zoom family calls and an ice cream cake.
Sydney is perfecting her fort construction. The latest that was up for more than a week resembled a yurt with comfy bedding and blankets. Even Milo would escape in there and take a nap.
It's usually just cold and a bit of a haul to go to the Winter Carnival, but for a few $ for fundraising and a stay-in-the-car viewing of the ice and snow sculptures, we decided to venture out this year. It was in the negative digits with a nice winter sun - great for viewing the ice sculptures. The kids had a bingo card to fill out along the ride. The fan favorite was of course the Mandalorian and Child.
