On Thursday I took Holdyn to his first ever dental appointment. I decided to use a normal general dentist instead of a pediatric dentist. I took him back in September to a pediatric dentist just for an exam because he had a tooth that had not come in yet. The doors to go to the back room where the children were was sound proof. That was my first indication there was trouble!! Back in the room multiple children screaming and staf
f member sitting on the children holding them down and prying their mouth open and forcing them to cooperate. Yeah we didn't go back there!! I had my dental appointment on Wednesday so I talked with them about bringing him. I went in on Thursday with the mindset of if he was scared or didn't want to do it, I would not force him to do it. I wanted his first experience to be pleasant and not traumatic. They were very nice and great with him. The hygenist showed him all of her 'cool' toys and her rocket chair he got to ride up and down in. She even had sponge bob toothpaste just like Holdyn had at home. They became great friends after she gave him a tube to take home! He opened wide and let her clean everything and didn't complain once. The dentist came in and counted all of his teeth and said everything looked great! Afterwards, I was so proud ( I was prepared for a complete throw yourself on the floor meltdown) that I took him to ToysRus and he got to get a new Home Depot tool belt and hard hat. He loves being workman!

She got a great checkup bu
t we are still battling a small eye infection (a blocked tear duct) that she has had since December. We have done 3 different rounds of antibiotic drops and its just not clearing it up so we are headed to a pediatric eye doctor this week to see if we need stronger drops or if we should just let it clear up on its own. She is really starting to kick her legs and move her arms and she is 'talking' up a storm when she wakes up in the morning. She has also gotten attached to a new 'lovie'. It's a taggie blanket that Tammy sent her that is fuzzy on one side and silk on the other. She is holding on to it during the day and she pulls it over her face in order to go to sleep at night! So cute! She is still the best baby and only cries when she is hungry, sleepy, or has a wet diaper. I guess she got the memo about being the 2nd child and I can't run to her at every wimper she might make. Holdyn is still the best big brother and runs to her all the time and says "I need to kiss and hug my baby sister!" He also loves to show her all of his fire trucks and ambulances.

It is a beautiful day and we have been outside 'fighting fires' all morning and I think we are about to go to the park and feed the ducks :)
Hadley's lovie
We might have a thumb sucker on our hands! She is spitting out her paci during the day to find her thumb!
