Colm had tennis camp this week. It was very low-key, only two days for 45 minutes each day. He wants to play more, so we will have to look into that. I am glad he enjoyed it though, I had a lot of fun watching him run all over the court.

Learning what all of those white lines mean…

His first day of camp he was hitting the tennis ball like a baseball…the further he hit it the happier he was. They played a game today where he got a point for every ball he hit in the green…that helped him pull things in a bit. He was happy and sweaty after camp today, so that’s all that matters, he will figure the rest out if and when he plays again.

This isn’t a very good video of him, but my camera batteries died as I was filming this.

The boys went to the dentist today for a cleaning and they left with another appointment for two extractions-each! If bad teeth are genetic, then our boys are in a whole lotta trouble. Sean and I both had braces and I know I got to know both my dentist and my orthodontist very well. I am only now beginning to understand the amount of money my parents spent on my teeth. (Thanks!) Colm’s bite is so bad that I think the dentist thought I was lying when I told him that Colm never sucked his thumb or took a pacifier. Anyways, they are both getting two teeth pulled in a couple of weeks. Colm seems to think it might be something he needs to be worried about, but Liam assured him that it’s no big deal. They are just going to “help” the teeth come out. I was amazed at how sure of himself he was since he has ZERO experience in this department. We’ll see what he thinks about extractions AFTER he has actually had one.
