Postponement

Yeah...that's what happened to the dental appointment. It got postponed because the put you to sleep doctors (not gonna lie don't know how to spell the real word for that) wanted recent echos and ultrasounds of his heart and the visit to the cardiologist wasn't until the day *after* the original apointment. >_< I know better safe than sorry but at the time I have a meltdown because I was like are you kidding me? Seriously? Why is it so freaking hard to get his teeth fixed? Especially after the utter bullcrap that we put up with from the other place and oh boy did we put up with a lot of bull crap.

On a positive note he is still getting in this month (the 23rd) so he can still enjoy Halloween. And everything was clear, even a little better than last year and his doctor was like "Well I'm not concerned if you say he's acting like a normal little boy with the level and amount of energy he has" (meanwhile Trio has his arms in the arm in a corner next to the table and is shaking his booty). LOL--I told the doctor he is like this *all* the time. He is not even fully still when he is asleep so I'm not worried about his energy level at all.

It is just frustrating for me because while it's not constant pain it is there. And this is probably a nice mix of genetics and us being overly indulgent with the sweets, so in all reality I could have been on a total no sugar kick and water, milk, and fruit only and he could have *still* had cavities since there is a predisposition towards his Dad's family for bad teeth. But still...it's one of those Mommy fail moments. :(

So I will be updating about the dentist in about two weeks. And let you know how it went and how he handled everything and how I handled everything (bear in mind I've seen my kid sedated twice (once for the heart surgery the other for an MRI) and needing a tube down his throat to breathe for him once (again for the heart surgery). And the whole having your four month baby knocked out with tubes down his throat and all over his body is not something I would wish on my worst enemey (and by worst enemey ever I mean someone I wouldn't even pee on if they were on fire although no one currently fits that) so hopefully I will be alright. In any regards I'll let y'all know.

Take care!

Big Boy Trio

So here we go again!! Or trying to anyways LOL. I realize it's been awhile since I updated and I really am trying to be better about...currently blogging from my Fire to see how it works ...not gonna lie it's a bit difficult so far. And once there is a keyboard additive for it I am all over it.

And finished from a desktop LOL. Yeah Amazon should really have a keyboard additivie like the Ipad. Just saying.

Anyhoo, Trio...Trio is doing well. He's back in school for half day with the Early Education for help with his speech (can't really call it a delay anymore since he's chattering up a storm) so we'll go with clarity. He is loving it. So excited to be riding on the bus like a big boy everyday and it gives me four hours where I can catch up on sleep (which I more often than not do since I'm still a Night Stalker at work). He has started to bring home artwork and worksheets which is kind of like a bittersweet stab to my gut because it means my little guy is growing up. Which is something all parents want but there are a bit of tears when it does happen.

He went to the dentist for the first time back in June and although we're not going back to *that* particular office (that is a whole drama filled escapade which was alluded to on Facebook and I may blog about on my site soon) we are getting the work done on Tuesday since he has some caviites due to our loosey-goosey nature with sweets. Which will be good for him because I've been very strict about sugar since the initial appointment and while we won't go back to how lax we were before, there will be a little more room for leeway afterwards. And he'll get to enjoy Halloween this year, always a perk. I didn't want him to miss out just because we were over indulgent, or he is predisposed to cavities, or his mother wanted to burn down the dentist office (the old one not the new one. We love the new one).

We've also been fully potty trained since April. Since school we've had a few accidents and regressions I think mainly because he gets home and is so excited to either play video games or with my Fire (few learning apps on there for him) that he just forgets to think about it. But hopefully we can nip that in the bud before it gets really bad.

And that's about it. I'll try to remember to blog on Wednesday after both the dentist and cardiologist check up. Fingers crossed I actually remember to!!
