Teeth and new shoes

I took nate to the dentist a few days ago. It went really well, I think nate has really grown up since his last appointment maybe 4 or 5 months ago. He got to use the camera to take pictures of his own teeth, press the buttons on the chair. The dentist was very patient, showed him the instruments, pretended to work on me first then nate. We could do better brushing but it is quite hard as he is quite independant and wants to do it himself. I also got him an electric toothbrush. I call plaque, teeth poopoo, he seems to relate to that and wants to clean it out, esp. when I can scrape some to show him. Wanted to have the dentist clean his teeth as well but he said they had such a nice session, better to do it in a few weeks from now so he doesn't have a bad impression of the place. He will get his teeth stained red (strawberry flavour) and then cleaned with a soft spinning sponge, of course with the dvd on for him to watch. He got two balloons at the end and was happily kicking them throughout the clinic which was nice an quiet as they space their patients but charge quite a bit!

Nate also got to wear his new shoes (japanese size 17). He likes them, I threw out his old blue sneakers which were very well worn for 6 months and looking very scruffy. I also bought a cheap pair of sandals with Thomas the train on them and yesterday found a pair of open toes on sale as the seasons here are changing but will be suitable for SA.

Ike.... phew, this guy was hard work the first night wendy left. Between burping and eating and struggling (bottle vs. breast?), he ate small amounts but many times. Last night its a bit better with longer stretches. We also got bigger diapers that we don't have to change so often. He is now due for his 2 month old shots!

Bullet, Jake and Pistol passed their first blood test. Next week they go in for teeth cleaning and more blood drawn for tests.

I managed to also go thru the items in the guest room and will work on the library next. Have managed to sell quite a number of items on the internet.
