Today started way too early in my opinion. Why my child feels the need to be up before the sun, is beyond me. He certainly didn't inherit this quality from me. Nope, I'm a girl that loves her sleep, esp that early morning sleep. He gets it from his Daddy. That's right, I have two early birds on my hands. But like it or not, up I got this morning.
We headed off for a dental check up for Parker. Now I've been trying to prepare him for our appointment. We talked in great length about how Dr. L was going to count his teeth and then brush them with a fun toothbrush. And if he was good, he would be able to pick out a sticker and a new toothbrush. At his last check up it took 4 of us to hold him down so they could look in his mouth. Yep, I was super nervous going into this. Once we got all checked in, I was informed they were going to try to do bite wing x-rays and have him go back and have the examine by himself. I'll admit, I was a nervous wreck, but Parker walked back there with the sweet assistant like it was no big deal. The nice receptionist must of seen my nerves because she kept reassuring me that he was fine and I did a good job of encouraging him. So, there I sat on pins and needles waiting to hear the screams come from my child. But all I heard was silence. I watched the door like a hawk and it was a LONG half hour, but he made it and was SO good. He received a great report of no cavities, healthy gums and super behavior. I am so proud of my big boy! When he came out with his "treat"bag he had a huge smile on his face. He was super excited to show me his special teeth "pictures" and give me the sticker that he picked out for me. We do have to go back in 6 months to have sealants put on to his molars because of the deep groves in the teeth. But we will most likely combine that with his next check up.Since we were out and about anyways we made the most of out morning and ran a few errands. Our next sop was ToysRUs to pick out a toy for his preschool party gift exchange. Holy moly, it was a mad house there. We made it over to the mall to see the puppies at the pet shop, look for some dress shoes, have some lunch and see Santa. He has held true to what he wants for Christmas. He once again asked Santa for "Shake, Shake Bridge". I'm pretty sure Santa will be able to fulfill this Christmas wish. ;)
