Owen went to the dentist for the first time today. He was so excited to go and was having so much fun. That is until it came time to actually sit the chair for the exam. Dreadful. Just like I imagined.
They started out looking at Roo and using all of the tools on him. Owen thought this was just great.
He even got all dressed up for the part.
But when they reclined the chair and pulled out the floss, it was over. It ended with me reclined in the chair, him laying on me, while I held his head down and the tech held his arms down and his mouth open. The dentist was really calm the whole time which was nice and they went pretty fast. Afterwards he was fine. I'm sure it will get better. He screamed bloody murder the first 6 times he had his hair cut so I'm not surprised at all. He did get a cute certificate to commemorate his first visit.
Owen finished up his 4th installment of science camp last week. The last lesson was on smell.
Each family was tasked with bringing in a smell from home for the kids to guess. Being that I have a zillion other things to worry about, we didn't remember until the car ride there. But, Brett and I can be a pretty good team when we need to. I remembered we had a ziploc bag in the car, so we just had to figure out what to put in it. Brett had hot chocolate so he had a brilliant idea to just pour some of that on a tissue and put it into the bag. Perfect! Way to go honey!
Here is a picture his teacher sent along from the other session where he is wearing his cool science tshirt.
A rare opportunity for your viewing pleasure since Owen hates coloring. We have a leaf rubbing that he did.
So talented.
After a fun-filled weekend with the extended family, we decided to have a nice, quiet little celebration at home.
Owen got the shake shake bridge for his birthday and has really enjoyed it.
She's sitting so well on her own!
