Oh, it was nice to get a regular strength training workout in today I chose an easier one though, since my back is still not 100%. With that said though, it feels the best today than it has since I hurt it again a week ago - YAY!. I wonder if it's cuz I was up and moving all day yesterday and not on my butt on this laptop!? I think that makes a difference.... Anyway, I didn't feel like I worked too hard, but yet I got a great workout in. I alway go much heavier than Jari. Like for pullovers, I used 20's today.. Biceps, my 22lb body bar, which I could have went heavier.. tricpes, I used 27lb barbell..shoulders, I used a 10, and then 8. I was on fire there... I think kettlebells have worked my legs a lot because I find my endurance and strength better there as well. However, I didn't want to push it with my back today. Anyway, I burned 277 calories, with my average being 107...

My son refused the dentist again. I feel bad for him, but then get so mad at him too. It's one thing to be scared and not to cooperate, it's another to be RUDE, and he was. He's such a brat!UGH. He dropped his toy, and the hygeniest handed it to him, where he proceded to throw it AGAIN and grunt (I think he did it 2 more times). Oh, I could kill him sometimes. He is sooo differnt than Sawyer (my oldest) Brywar would lay back and try to cooperate but just couldn't bring himself to it. He was so mad when I said he didn't get a prize. I walked out of there fuming.. Now, not sure what to do. They referred him to a specialist. I don't know if I will take him right away or if I will wait a bit. I don't think the cavity is too bad since he just had some done 6 months ago. How fast can teeth rot?? I'd like to wait another 6 months and try my regular dentist before traveling an hour and putting him through something traumatic AND expensive.

It makes it even more frustarting that he had THREE apointments prior to this when he was 3, where he was a saint and as cooperative as could be... it was after than when he got that stupid shot, and got sicker than sick, now he's just terrified.

On a better note, he is napping now so at least his mood for Sawyer's x-mas program SHOULD be decent.Happy Wednesday everyone!Darcy

UGh! Sorry you had such a time at the dentist, Darcy!! did very well at the eye doctor - she even tolerated the drops well and we were there for about 2 hours since it takes 45 min for the drops to work. She played well w/ the other kids who were waiting for their eyes to dilate as well. She does need glasses though - she has astigmatism (like me) - funny thins is, I had no clue she couldn't see well until they screened her at school and she flunked the exam. She picked out a nice pair of purple glasses - she looks cute in them!

Darcy,

I take my kids to a pediatric dentist because my son was terrified of my dentist when he was little. We tried two or three times but the adult equipment, chairs and office freaked him out. The dentist didn't handle him well at all either and he was very traumatized by it (plus he had his sensory issues which were full-blown at that time). He has always done extremely well, however, with the pediatric dentist. The equipment and chairs are small and there's lots of fun things to distract the kids. It was a huge blessing to be referred there by my pediatrician because my son was somehow, instantly comfortable. They were also much more sensitive to his special needs and that was great too. I don't know anything about how fast teeth rot but if you can find a pediatric dentist within a reasonable driving distance you might consider trying that. Your poor little guy has been through so much in such a short space. It sounds like he really needs a safe place when it comes to medical stuff and maybe your dentist just isn't one for him. Good luck though, I know this is very difficult too!

Thank you , all very useful info! Maybe I will give them a call and see when we could even get in.... I'm so tired of it though..GRR... I should stay home and let my husband take him. However, the boys listen and behave much better with me than they do with him. So, I would guess it to be even more unlikely if I weren't there to try to persuade him.

It makes it that more frustrating considering that he was a perfect saint for THREE appointments prior to that dumb vaccine...GRRRRRR... Who knows maybe he'd be acting the same way, but I find it hard to believe. I think he was just pretty " scarred " from it all.

Anyway, your thoughts are very much appreciated (as always) !Darcy
