One Blessed Mama: First Dentist appointment

Well, Wesley had his first dentist apt. this week and I wanted to get a picture of him in the chair but that did not work. We took him to a pediatric dentist and I assumed I would be able to go back with him when they called him. So, he was all prepared for me to go back with him. Well, when they called his name, they said they don't allow parents back there unless they are hysterical. I was like "oh great, this is not going to be pretty." They have a big window where the parents can watch them getting their teeth cleaned. Wesley was crying and crying. I felt so bad for him. He was pitiful. He was really scared and my goodness, they should let the parents go back especially if this is their first time. Mark didn't think I should go back there but I couldn't just let him cry like that. So, I told them at the front desk I was going back there. I could tell the dental hygenist was aggravated that I had come back there but I didn't care. Anyway, a long story short, after alot of crying and whimpering, he was fine. As we were walking out he said, "I dont' know what's wrong with me." The lady heard him and laughed. When he was waiting in the dentist chair he kept saying "I don't want to go to the dentist ever ever again." At least we have 6 more months to prepare him for next time.

Wesley is pretty much potty trained now, I am happy to say. He is doing real good. I still put pull-ups on him whenever we're out just in case. But he still goes. He usually only has a wet pull-up when he wakes up in the morning. For some reason, he would rather go in our bathroom than his own. I think everyone around us in church heard him announce this morning that he had to go.

Luke is just as cute as he can be when he walks. Of course he always is but especially when he walks. Tonight he was trying to chase Wesley while walking but Wesley is still a little too fast for him. He is 11 months old today. One of his favorite things to do right now is play in the toilet. We try to always keep the door closed but we are not always successful in doing that. This week I couldn't find Luke and went in there and he the floor was wet everywhere from the toilet water. He knows how to open the lid and close it by himself. The toilet tissue was also all over the floor too. Luke is saying,"mama,dada, and uh-oh."Here are a few pics.
