Imagine my surprise when I looked at my e-mail this morning and saw a message from The Carrington Family blog. The reason for the surprise is because I actually didn’t write a post yesterday, so I was not expecting anything at all to be sent. But that was not the end of the weirdness.
What was even more surprising was the contents. You probably saw it, too. A familiar looking post referring to a poll available on the blog regarding how these posts are delivered to your inbox or feed readers. Something strange was afoot. I was beginning to have some deja vu.

Pearly Whites
Well, as Kyle continues to get older, we continue to have "first" experiences. Sometimes they're good. Sometimes...well...not so much. But one thing is certain. There truly does seem to be a first time for everything.
In this case...teeth cleaning! Yes, Kyle has been to his first dental cleaning. We were a little unsure how this would work out. Lately, he's been getting to that stage where he is a bit uncertain around new people. So, the idea of a stranger poking around in his mouth was something we weren't quite sure he'd warm up to very quickly.

More Karaoke Fun
Ok, so yesterday we showed some really cool video of some very talented ladies. Today, we bring you the up-and-coming rising stars of the karaoke mic. These two guys have a great attitude about singing in public and don’t seem to have any shame. But, I guess that’s because they’re too young to really care what people think of them.
Both doing their own arrangements of the world-famous Alphabet Song, here are Kyle Carrington and Nathan Lehman. Let’s hear it for them, everybody!

Very, Very Karaoke
I'm not quite sure if Karaoke is actually the Japanese word for Easter or not, but the two concepts seem to have collided with the destructive force of two toddlers and a non-toddler-safe piece of technological equipment. Perhaps that might be the modern day equivalent of when toddlers 15 years ago would put peanut-butter and jelly sandwiches in mom and dad's VCR.
The fun part, here, is that while certain people (whose names rhyme with Billie and Michelle) are probably anticipating a video of their lovely grandchildren enjoying the wonders of Grandma's home karaoke machine (a.k.a. "Do-it-yourself home torture kit") they are in for a much bigger surprise.

Ostrich Sleep
Kyle seems to be quite similar to his Mommy and Daddy in certain respects. At times, he is quite his own person and it is difficult to tell which of us he inherited certain traits from. Other times, our parental genes were so in-line with one another that the there was no other option but to have been passed on to our child.
One case in point is mornings. One thing is quite certain...Kyle is not a morning person. Nobody in our household is a morning person. We all prefer to lay in bed as late as possible and then slowly emerge from blissful slumber over a period of, ideally, hours. In the case of the older two-thirds of us, we reluctantly drag ourselves out of bed (at the last possible minute before we're destined to be late) and sleepily stagger through the first 15 - 20 minutes until our bodies finally, grudgingly recognize that we are up.

Face 2 Face
At what will probably have been a once-in-a-lifetime experience, I had the distinct pleasure on 3/26/09 of attending one of the greatest concert performances I have ever been to. None other than Billy Joel and Elton John, once again touring the world together and sharing the stage.
There was never any question that this was going to be a fantastic show. I seriously doubt that there could have been a different outlook on a show like this. In the past, I had missed opportunities to see these two legendary performers together, though I did get to see Joel in concert about 10 years ago.

Super Soccer Star: Part IV
We now arrive at the end of Kyle’s first trip to soccer practice. Never mind the fact that he has already gone to a second session and will go to a third in less than two days. Yes, I’m recognizing that, once again, I’ve fallen behind on my blogging.
The end of the session was actually a bit on the anti-climactic end of the spectrum. Let’s just say, as the pictures will show, it had to do with kids in a parachute. Kyle doesn’t care much for parachutes. Doesn’t like them at Busy Bodies, doesn’t like them at soccer.
