Busy busy

A busy week this week.

Yesterday we went to town as I had to have some routine blood tests. Last night it was back on the motorway for part 2 of my extending children's thinking course. Tonight it is Playcentre discount shopping night at the Playcentre shop - I have my Christmas list at the ready....

Both children went to see the dental therapist today. It was Aidan's first time, and he was very unconcerned by it all. The dental therapist is great - she really puts the children at ease. At this age it is just a quick look in their mouths really. No concerns with either. Aidan has just 1.5 teeth to go before he has his full set of baby teeth.

The children's personality differences came out during their consultations. Isabelle went first. Clutching "Lady" and the "Milk Tanker" from their Thomas the Tank Engine set, she went over to the therapist. The therapist asked her a couple of questions, to which she nodded her replies. Then she asked her the name of the engine. Isabelle shyly smiled and said nothing. Aidan shouts from behind me: "IT'S LADY! LADY! LADY ON TV! SNAPPY SNAPPY DIESEL!".

When it came time to choose their "rewards", both chose little kittens made out of dental wadding. Isabelle's one had a orange tail, and Aidan's was yellow. Both also got star stickers and glitter.
