One night not too long ago, Mike and Anna Kate went to pick up some sushi.  Anna Kate came home with a red lollipop the lady gave her at the restaurant.  As Mike and I were getting dinner ready, we heard the girls having this long conversation at the table about cavities.  I walked over to check out what they were doing… this is what I saw.  When I asked Noelle to explain it to me, she said, “I’m teaching Anna Kate about cavities.  This is Anna Kate.  She has a red lollipop.  If she eats it, then her teeth will get yucky, like they are in the picture.  Then, she will have to go to the dentist and get her teeth fixed, and it will hurt!”  Honest to goodness, Anna Kate brought us the lollipop and told us she didn’t want it.  That was easy!  I wish it were that simple for their Mommy!

(Noelle just recently changed the color she uses to color Anna Kate’s hair in pictures.  She used to color her hair brown, and now yellow, because Anna Kate’s hair has gotten so light.  She used to color Rose’s hair black, and now colors hers brown because it has lightened up too.  I wonder if Rose’s hair will stay brown?)
