yup, he has inherited one of my not so wonderful qualities (everything else he got from me is most definitely wonderful though I'm sure). We started noticing that he had a few chips in his top 4 teeth. I asked his pediatrician about them at his last well visit a couple weeks ago and he seemed to brush them off as no big deal. Well in the past 2 to 3 weeks they have most certainly been getting worse. So off to the pediatric dentist we went today. We saw Dr. Daniel Howell in Cary and they were excellent! Nathan and I both loved them! Well, Nathan probably liked the huge play area the best, and the stickers and prizes they gave him, but either way we were both very pleased with the visit. And I have to brag because Nathan was so cooperative with the dentist! He sat in the big chair with his head back and mouth open and just let the dentist poke and mess with his teeth. I was so proud and they were extremely impressed. Unfortuneatly, there isn't much they can really do for his teeth right now. The only helpful thing for teeth grinding is a mouth gurad, and obviously that isn't going to work very well. So he gave us some things to look out for and basically said see you when hes three for his first cleaning.
As a reward for being so good (and because it was 64 degrees out and not a single cloud in the sky), Nathan and I took a walk to the park this afternoon! We had so much fun swinging and climbing and playing on the slides.
