Mickey Pancake

Well, well, well, let me set the stage for this photo. At first glance you think, wow that is an amazing pancake, I sure would love to have one that looks like that now nevermind how exciting it would be for a child.  Well Leao and I had gone to this breakfast nook one day and loved it. We saw that on the menu they had Mickey Mouse pancakes so we thought wow we have to have the boys come here and try them.  The next week we take them and ordered one for Nicholas who is 8 and Apollo who is 4. I took pictures of them and cut into Apollo’s pancake.

What do you think my boy did?  Cry, that’s right you heard me right, cry. He did not like that I cut up the Mickey Mouse Pancake.  Oh boy, was I the bad guy or what?  So finally Leao was able to convince him to eat it, but not before the whole restaurant knew his initial reaction.

When you think you know your kids, guess again.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Apollo's visit to the dentist

So I thought I would pick one or two fun photos each week to share with you all.

This week’s photos are from Apollo’s recent trip to the dentist. He always enjoys going to the dentist however this time I suspected would be a little different.  Since he just had his adenoid surgery a week ago, I know the experience was fresh in his mind.  He had a pretty hard time with the anestisia.

Initially, he did well as the hygentist chatted with him and began counting his teeth. Then she moved on to his cleaning with the electric toothbrush and I could visually see his face change and fear took over. He started to cry and I stood up so he could see me and comforted him while she completed the process. She decided he could wait until next visit for x-rays since this would give him more time to move past the feelings and memories of his surgery.

He became happy when she gave him a new toothbrush, floss, toothpaste and chapstick. He loves chapstick.  At the very end of the session they have a cool process that they write his name on a paper tooth and he can select where on the wall he wants to put it and stick it there.

I am so proud of him, because he really tried to keep it together and we made it through it.  My brave boy!
