Success...sort of

Sam had his first visit to the dentist today. If you can count as successful one slap at the dentist and complete resistance at every effort to look in his mouth, then we had a very successful morning. Dr. Larsen was great, he has four boys (and a girl) of his own, but you still cringe when your child takes a swipe at a complete stranger who's just trying to help. This hitting thing is new this week, he's only done it a few of times. Apparently he's retesting those boundaries. Fun. We even turned a Thomas video on for him, but the child just can't handle being told what to do, especially by someone he doesn't know well. Hopefully the next visit will be easier. The good news: Sam has all 20 of his teeth. And we bought the fire engine piñata for his birthday, which he's been pushing all around the house.
