A hard day

Today was your 2nd dentist appointment. I asked your Toronto grandparents to look after Kendall while I took you to your dentist appointment. They came to our house at just after 8am this morning. When it was time for us to go you wouldn't leave the house unless halbi (your grandpa) came with us. 

You and halbi about to go into the dentist office.
I forgot to mention the horrible scratch on your face and chin. You apparently got it from a
girl at daycare named Leah. I think you hit her so she lashed back at you by giving you a
gash on your face. Ugh.

Daddy and I always prepare you before you do anything to ensure that you don't throw any
tantrums. This week we were talking to you about your dentist appointment and what you
had to do. Just before the dentist came in I told you you had to open your mouth wide and
you did just that. The dentist was so impressed with you. Last time I had to hold you on my
lap while the dentist did your teeth cleaning, but this time you were fine lying down on your
own. To be honest, I think you could have done that in your last appointment, but since it
was your first time I held you just in case.

The dentist gave you a Tigger toothbrush and you were so happy. Look at you still opening
your mouth even though the dentist isn't even checking your teeth. Haha.

The dentist put sunglasses on you while she had the light turned on. It was pretty cute.

You were such a trooper. No crying and no whimpering. What a good boy you are.

Afterwards the dentist gave you a coin for the vending machine for you to get a little
prize.

Halbi helped you put the coin in the slot.

Your prize!

When we came back home it was 9:30am. Kendall was just fine with grandma. I was hoping we could go out all together, but your grandparents wanted to go home. 

After they left I noticed you were talking funny- sort of with a lisp. I asked you what was wrong and when I checked your tongue I noticed there was a white sore on the left side of your tongue. I Googled it and there were posts that it could be

Luckily it was just a canker sore, but I still had to get medication and the doctor told me it could be infectious so to keep you away from Kendall. Oh brother.

Not a great pic, but there is the sore.

I took you to Starbucks to treat you to a muffin because you were so cranky at the doctors.
I think the canker sore was really bothering you.

You picked out the chocolate chips in the banana muffin, but you ate it all.

When we got home you were super cranky and whiny. It was hard because I couldn't do anything. I put you down for a nap and you slept right away. You slept for a couple of hours and usually you wake up well rested and energized, but you were still very cranky when you awoke. I'm just really frustrated how you are constantly sick. You lost a lot of weight lately because of the food poisoning and now this. Your pants are hanging so loosely at your waist.

You napping. Poor baby.
