Doctors and Dentists, Oh MY!

Anders had his 4 year check up today and a dentist visit yesterday. I have to say that they both went splendidly well. He is an amazing patient to say the least.

The dental hygienist couldn't say enough about how great his teeth were and what an "excellent" patient he was. She even put him to work sucking out the saliva in his mouth with that little tube vacuum suction tool. Anders got totally into it- and came home with quite the stash, multiple toothbrushes, floss, toothpaste, and a toy to boot!

And then today he had his 4 year wellness visit at the pediatricians. Here he had the nurse in stitches during his hearing check...with each beep and buzz he got more and more creative with just how he raised his arm, adding sound effects, dips, and dives like a stunt airplane each time he heard a sound. It was so funny to watch his theatrics, this little kid sitting there with earphones, looking so earnestly at the nurse and yet, being so dramatic with his response! He also took a vision test and sat quite bravely for a vaccination. I had such a blast just being with him.

He is quite the healthy lad, weighing in at 46 pounds, and 42 inches tall.
