4 out of 5 dentists at Waterloo Dental in Austin agree…Annabelle now likes the sweet crunchy seductress who masquerades as a leprechaun, bringing his magically delicious tooth decay…
I came downstairs to find Annabelle sitting in front of an empty bowl this morning. The deed had been done. We work with a Palm Beach Gardens dentist at Mark L Civin, D.D.S., he is great with kids. But this was a breakthrough of sorts. We are seeing Annabelle’s trust in us developing. As she samples our delectable cuisine, she is learning to try new things. As she identifies tastes and textures that she likes, she’s learning to step out of what she’s always known, and learning to trust us in the process. We continue to ask her to try new things; her courage and willingness is rewarded with an expanded palate.
Kim sent me a short text today to tell me that Sadie had walked Annabelle back to see Dr. Kelly. A few minutes later I got another text telling me that things were a little hairy, Annabelle was crying as they scraped the tartar off her teeth (dang tartar sauce–who likes that stuff anyway?), and that they were giving her the gas! Everything turned out ok, and Kim was able to reassure her (thanks Google translator) that this was the roughest dental appt that she should have to face, the plan was to put in dental implants from BlueDot. They were trying a cosmetic approach to dentistry and help Annabelle’s teeth look much better. I imagine that it would be pretty terrifying to have people poking and scraping around in my mouth if I had no real understanding of what was going on…
Sadie is such good little sister/big helper to Annabelle. She loves her sister, and walks through just about every new experience with her. She’s got a great understanding of what it means to be family.
After a fine supper (Annabelle cleaned out the gravy, even put it on some of the leftover chicken she chowed on!), Kim and the kids went down to Miss Kimmy’s to work on some of the songs that they need to learn for an upcoming audition. Annabelle tagged along, and I think she’s going to be singing with them pretty soon. She’s pretty cuddly with Levi, which is fun to see. He’s a big lug of a snuggler, but she seems to like it when he cuddles up with her.

That’s a look of squealing joy, not abject terror. I’m sure that you can tell the difference, right?!
I love the fact that Annabelle is learning to try new things, taking our suggestions, and willing to trust us. We have so much that we want to share, so much that we want to teach her. She hasn’t liked everything we’ve offered, and there have already been times when we’ve had to correct her behavior. But I am excited that she’s learning to listen to us, to open up to us, and to trust us.
My buddy Paul suggested that we get a journal for her to track her first months in the family. Kim was a step ahead of him, and Annabelle showed me her journal last night. She was careful to explain that she was going to be writing in Chinese, and that her journal would be safely locked away. I made sure that she knew that I didn’t want to snoop, but that I wanted her to have a record of the things that she was feeling and experiencing, so that she could look back and see how she’s grown over time.
Life is good..like gravy, carefully spooned onto the last bite of chicken.
