Took Spencer to the dentist for the first time today. I wasn't sure what to expect. The dentist was very nice, very patient and not in anyway upset that the 2 year old didn't want to open his mouth. He gave Spencer a blinking toothbrush and basically used the pretense of brushing his teeth to look inside. I was so glad that we brush his teeth regularly so he was totally comfortable with it. I would have felt like the worst parent in the world if Spencer had no clue what to do with the toothbrush. Spencer brushed puppy's teeth when it was time to go and said bye-bye to the dentist. All in all a successful visit. When we get Spencer on our dental we'll go back for a cleaning.

Rachel was a totally different baby today. The anti-biotics made a huge difference so quickly. She got a little fussy this evening when she was sleepy, but that's totally cool. She even napped for *gasp* 90 minutes AND woke up happy! Compared to yesterday when she slept for 30 minutes and woke up whining. Omoxycillin is my new best friend. And her baby legs came today. She was crawling with them on. I knew it was the pants that were holding her back.

Today is Mike's birthday. He's officially older than dirt. Assuming dirt is 34. He's in a good mood again and off for the next 4 days. Should be fun. He's going to take Spencer to therapy tomorrow.

Good days again for me.

In sadder news, there was more on my friends today. About the fight that led to the end. If anyone is interested I'll simply refer you to this article.
