So, Jed and Alyson have both had a few "Big" things go on this week! Jed and Alyson had their first Dentist visit on Monday (Okay, so he's 5, and I"m sure that sounds bad, but it was after like 4 failed attempts where he wouldn't let the hygenist look in his mouth at all and they said we'll try again later, and later it was the same... you get it.) So my friend Genean had me babysit her youngest while the others and her went to the Dentist a few weeks ago, and I asked who she saw and how her kids (around Jed and Alyson's ages) do with them, and she said that they did wonderful. So, I thought we would try again with a new dentist, (and it helped a TON that Smith LOVES the dentist and told Jed how cool it is, and how he would get a cool goody bag) and Jed went right back, and left me in the waiting room. No problems at all! He did Fantastic. And when he was back there, he started telling the dentist that the picture machine (x-ray) that they had was "similar to the one my Mom's doctor uses on her." and was asking all kinds of questions. When I got back there, they said "wow, he's so smart! I can't believe he knows all of that! And he used the word Similar, and understood what it meant!" It was very fun. Alyson sat in the chair next, and had her teeth cleaned and then the Dentist came in and checked. They are both Cavity Free! He said that whoever brushes their teeth does a great job, and to keep it up. :-)
Alyson's other news is that she is "Accident free for 3". We even were out and about all afternoon yesterday, and today we ran a few errands as well. She told me when she needed to go potty, and we went. She's doing fabulous! We have a goal to be in regular panties by Friday, and if so, we'll go to the store and get Princess big girl undies. She's so excited! We're so proud of both Jed and Alyson, and wanted to share!
