Leyton's first dentist appointment!

• Leyton had his first-ever dentist visit this morning. I bundled up the boys bright and early for the 8 a.m. appointment and was hoping for a smooth outing. After arriving at the dentist's office, Leyton was quick to find the toys and a few other distractions. The dentist came out and met us and played games with Leyton before luring him back into the small exam room. Leyton didn't hesitate in the least to go straight back with the dentist, who asked if she could take a look at his teeth. A minute later, the dentist came out and said Leyton wanted his mommy. Reed and I picked up and headed back to the exam room to find Leyton lounging in a pair of red hot sunglasses with big ole crocodile tears streaming down his face. He was about finished up with the exam, and we could all tell that he wasn't going to last a lot longer. He crawled out of the chair and into my arms and was glad to be done. He received a good report, though, and is scheduled to be back in 6 months. (He also picked up a brand new Lightning McQueen toothbrush and a glow-in-the-dark bouncy ball. Whatmore could a boy ask for...) I was very proud of my big boy!
• The rest of the morning has been busy. Leyton is out of school today for the MLK holiday, and so it has been a wild morning at the house. Reed is still eating great - he is a bottomless pit and ate more than 5 oz. in an hour and a half this morning - way to go Big Kahuna! He is snoozing now, and I just got Leyton down for a nap.
• Leyton told me we are going to play superheroes when he wakes up from nap! Oh yeah.
