Brotherly Love

The other day I took Kaytlin to the Dentist to get her teeth cleaned and the Dentist told her she would need braces.... That was all Kaytlin needed to here, especially since this is the one thing she has always wanted to hear from her Dentist! Ever since, she has constantly been asking me if I have called yet to make her an appointment to go and see the Orthodontist? Of coarse I haven't, I told her " Braces are expensive and something that we will need to save some money for before she will actually be able to get them. So... Kaytlin decided to do a lemonade stand to sell lemonade to the other little kids in the neighborhood in hopes that she could raise some money for her braces. Four dollars and twenty five cents later she came in the house and said "Mom I'm working my butt off out there and I've only made $4.25. It's going to take me forever to earn enough money to get braces". I gave her a hug and told her it would all work out. Kaytlin and I then left Trenten and Austin home while I took her to dance to get a recording of the dance she is suppose to be learning while her foot is in a cast. When we got home Austin very proudly came up to her and handed her three more dollars that he had earned by going DOOR to DOOR in the neighborhood and telling people that kaytlin needs braces and told them that he was selling lemonade to help her earn enough money. So.... Thanks to all of my neighbors that donated .25 to help out with kate's braces. : ) And thank you Austin for being such a sweetheart. Needless to say I am a little humiliated but the sheer fact that Austin loves his sister enough to do that makes me a happy mom!
