Dentists and "bonks"

Kendra had her first visit to the dentist this week. I was so proud of her and couldn't believe what she all let the hygenist and the dentist do! She sat in the chair like a trooper while they cleaned, polished, poked and flossed her teeth. I didn't even tell her that she would get a prize after it was all done so that was the icing on the cake!

Owen has had a little bit of a rough couple of days. He climbed out of the straps in his umbrella stroller, stood up and tipped the whole thing backwards, banging his lip on the handle as he hit the ground. That caused a fair bit of blood to come from his mouth. Good think there was a nice 'gramma-like' lady in the store who got me some kleenex and helped calm him down! Then, this morning, he missed a step on the way down the stairs and tumbled the rest of the way. The goose-egg on his forhead is the result of that fall. He walked around for a while whimpering, "bonk, bonk". He was fine after a few M&M's! So, he looks a little rough but seems to be okay!! Good thing kids are as resiliant as they are!!
