Boyd visits the dentist

This morning marked Boyd's first trip to the dentist and he was cavity free! I've never seen a kid so excited for the dentist before. Boyd basically ran when his name was called and of course he was the hit of the office. The hygientist, I think her name was Neosho, was wonderful. She began by showing Boyd all the tools and letting him test them out. Then together they counted his teeth. Then she let him choose his toothpaste for the cleaning (Boyd chose chocolate). Then the cleaning and flossing followed. Oh, and Boyd was cold so she found him a blanket to keep him comfortable.

 Boyd's favorite part- Mr. Thirsty the straw. He was even put in charge of using it.

Watching the hygienist floss his teeth.

While he waited for Dr. Miller to take a look the hygienist took Boyd on a special adventure to choose a toy and balloon. This snake was even better than the cool toothbrush he was also given.  Look at those teeth sparkle.

Post appointment he told me, "I don't think I should go to school now, because I will be too confused since I was already at the dentist. We should just go home." Nice try Boyd, only 3 more days of school.

Cutest cashier.

Buzz Lightyear really can fly.  I had the privilege of later taking him to the library and park.

 How did Boyd grow up so fast?

 No help needed to pedal his trike (even up the hill). Next summer it will be on to the bike with training wheels.

 Mountain climber. New confidence during scrambling adventures.

 Playing in the trees.

 Water man. You will get soaked.

 Yes, he can put his face in the water.

 Fun times with Mimi.

 For a Father's Day treat. Boyd had pizza and rootbeer with Dad (Mom does not allow soda). Here he was clapping because he was so excited.

Swimming lessons with Miss Carmen.

Boyd wanted some toenail polish like our friend Amanda.

Mom that looks like Lizzie from Cars.

Hard at work.

The week in pictures.  Boyd discovered as long as the Lego set has wheels, he's a fan.  He spent hours this week building with Legos, making his own creations.

Boyd found  marker next to his spot at the table and decided to add some color to his skin.

Climbing in the closet. No fear lately.

Enjoying Mom's Mother's day present.

Golfing. Happy Gilmore style.

Boyd insisted we take the stroller to the park. He just wanted to push it.

Love this kid and his sticker. What a silly face Boyd.

More chrysalis games.

Boyd wanted to do a science experiment. So he flooded the sandbox with the hose and created an ocean to splash around in.

Quotes of the week: "I'm so glad I got you for my birthday." -Talking to me and giving me a big hug.
"I think this boo boo is giving me some lovin." - Looking at a boo boo on his finger
Randomly in the car- "This town came ten years ago. Why are you bringing your monkey or lemon?"
Another thought while in the car- "Oh, oh, when the hills get high, you can just see a little bit."
To the waiter at dinner: "I'll have a chocolate milk, grilled cheese and applesauce. I'm a little picky."
Boyd is growing like a weed. 39 inches tall and 33+ pounds.  He remains an entertainer and always has something to say or share with anyone who will listen.
