Hi from Taupo Scarlett, we are parked by the lake and Poppa is having a wee snooze. Lovely to see you at the dentist - what a flash dentist's chair with special glasses and a TV to watch - wow! When I was a girl, all you got was a stamp on the hand or a butterfly made with the little white tubes they use to stick in your mouth to soak up the saliva. I am so pleased you are giving up sucking your thumb so you will have straight teeth and be able to chew easily. Well done! It will be fun to have a bike later too. We are on our way to Wellington to see Great Nan and Great Grandad, but first we will stay with Auntie Chrisine and Uncle Raymond tonight. Thank you for making your blog so interesting with photos and your commentary. Lots of love, Nana and Poppa xx
