Have you ever had one of those days where you just worry what can happen next? Over the last week or so it has felt like that..... a lot! Not to say that there haven't been a lot of good things to balance things out and really i feel quite blessed, but it just seems that there can't be a day that isn't full of surprises! Today's surprise was this:
Ryan had an abscess on his tooth, that we only noticed yesterday evening. Needless to say the plans that were in order for the day changed the moment we saw his tooth last night. So our morning started with our blood being taken (only after a few extra pokes cause my veins wouldn't cooperate) for our life insurance to racing to the dentist office to have Ryan's teeth checked. Sure enough the tooth had been infected and had some major black stuff on the x-ray. Lucky kid. He had to have a pulpotomy (a baby root canal). But this little guy smiled through it. I took this picture with my phone and showed him and he thought it was funny to see the "elephant nose." I asked him if he looked like a teenage mutant ninja turtle--he said yeah. He was so good and didn't even flinch once. I was holding his hands just to be sure he didn't try to grab things but also to be right there for him. He would just smile and watch the movie they turned on for him. What a good guy! All is well tonight, and i can't wait to see what will happen tomorrow.

That's actually a really cute picture for being at the dentist office. I hope things go smoothly for you guys for the next while. :)
Poor Ryan. What a good kid though! He looks so happy! I guess he does have the gas on though :)
