Dentist and blood draw today. J started to panic as soon as we were taken back to the room. He cried and shook. The dentist was finally able to get into J's mouth with a toothbrush. He didn't see anything to be concerned about. J left with two toothbrushes, a Thomas sticker and three toothbrush caps. How can you just choose one?

Jameson sat in the stroller and waved while saying, "Hi" and "Hot" to everyone that walked by the room. He'll have his first dental check-up in April. I guess they aren't technically taking new patients but the dentist pulled some strings for us to get Jameson in. Yay! It's helpful for me to take them to the same places. The dentist told me that a majority of their patients are "typical" kids, but they are the largest dental provider for kids with special needs in the state.

Then we had to go downstairs and get J's blood drawn for his annual GI workup. We were in the waiting room for 45 minutes before he was called back. Jameson made a little friend who kept handing him books and making him laugh. Jackson kept violating the personal space of the woman next to us, she said she didn't mind, but didn't seem all that comfortable. He kept looking at her and saying, "Next to me." Like she didn't know that. J took the draw really well without any tears. Not sure how long it will be to get the results.

I was laughing so hard at your last post about Jackson invading the lady's personal space! Drew is the KING of that, and it cracks me up how close he gets to some of the other kids in school. They all don't seem to mind, but I'm sure he's going to get clocked one of these days. Glad to see you guys are doing well.
