I went to the Dentist on Friday. Sounds exciting right? I took Jacob with me so he could see what it was like. But, he's actually already been to two different dentists with Michelle & Jason, when they had appointments. I'd been talking to him about it and he was very excited to sit in the dentist's chair. We've also been reading Green Puppy goes to the Dentist and he has loved that book. When we went, he was such a good boy! He colored for a little while, and watched me get my teeth cleaned. Having him there made it go by a lot faster! When they did the flouride, he sat in my lap and thought the little suction wand was hysterically. The hygienist called it "Mr. Thristy." We finally got finished up and left. I told him we were going to school, and he said, No, mommy, I want to go to Jacob's dentist. I tried and tried to explain to him that this was just a visit to watch mommy. He was not too happy! We have made him an appointment for September. I want to check with our pediatric cardiologist in August whether he will need pre-med antibiotics. So far, talking to other TGA moms, it seems like it's about a 50/50 split whether PC's recommend them or not...
In the last week, we had my grandma (Sugar)'s birthday on 3/26 and my dad, Jacob's papa, on 3/28.
We also went to Sterner's 2nd birthday party yesterday at Kim & Steven's house. They had Stacy Clearman of Littland Band fame come and play. Jacob has seen Stacy play on a number of occasions, even as recently as January at our town's Cultural Center. It's attached to our library, and every time we've been back to the library, Jacob mentions the Stacy concert! Anyway, at that concert, Jacob was all into it - dancing & singing on stage, etc. Well, yesterday, he was quite shy. I'm not sure what was going on with him, but he did not want to dance, though he did enjoy holding the microphone. We had a great time at the party!
This coming weekend, we have two more birthday parties - one on Saturday for Jake, a friend from Jacob's school, which will be at Planet Child in Cary. And then another party, on Sunday, also at Planet Child for Austin, who will be three. He is the son of our friends, Matt & Meredith. (Meredith is also our dentist.) We are looking forward to both parties.
The following weekend is, of course, Easter, and we'll be headed to Wilmington. Then, the weekend after Easter, we have Jason's birthday on April 18! Busy busy!

What a good idea to take him to the dentist with you first. Hmmmm, I'll have to give that a try. Our card recommends no antibiotics before dental visits, so I always find it interesting what others recommend, too.
Have a great week! xoxo
We had our card check-up yesterday and the doc said no more antibiotics - what he explained was that they have found it doesn't do any good. They had previously thought that bacteria only gets into your blood those couple times you go to get your teeth cleaned - but apparantly through research they have found that bacteria can get in your blood just through the foods you eat and such, so instead of like two times a year, its a million or so times. So - that apparantly is the reason behind calling off the antibiotics - they have found that it doesn't have an impact (with or without) on endocarditis.
