Jack and Cate Update -- August, 2008

Friday, August 8, 2008

Cate enjoyed another week at the Woodrow Wilson Cheer Camp, and we've got the video to prove it. After her team's performance, she cools down with one of the cheerleaders/instructors, Yesel.

It's the first day of school and Jack is proud to show-off his missing front tooth. On a perhaps related note, he was actually anxious to have his photo taken before we headed to school.

When Cate was introduced, however, Jack decided it would be unbecoming to stand anywhere close to her. She edged closer and closer to him while he fought (and eventually lost to) the urge to bolt.

Let's take one more, but this time with feeling.

Cate would've posed all morning, but it was time to get to school.

We walked the kids to their new classrooms, and then the teachers quickly shooed the parents. (Cate has Miss Gillespie and Jack has Miss Masters this year.) After briefly meeting their teachers, I was off to work and Lisa was off to a bloody mary party. That hardly seems fair...

Why buy them toys when Jack can so thoroughly enjoy a laundry hamper and a pair of girls rainboots? The psychological impact of starting school again is clearly greater than we anticipated.

It's not every boy that can pull-off this look. Whatever you might think, you have to agree that he's a fashion risk-taker.

To be perfectly honest, I didn't think it was anatomically possible for a front-tooth to migrate to the space vacated by another tooth. In all seriousness, it was like this for several days, and it definitely freaked some people out.

We got so tired of looking at the wandering tooth (and Jack's unwillingness to demonstrate his dominance over it) that Lisa took matters (literally) into her own hands. Within fifteen seconds, it was extracted.

In the Nelson gang, teeth-pulling is a family affair.
