FFF-U Pick
I love this picture of Collin. I love it so much I have it as my profile pic on Facebook right now. He has finally figured out how to wink and has added it to his repertoir of "funny faces" that he makes when I take pictures of him.

I was commenting on a friends blog yesterday that I feel really guilty about the fact that I can find time to get on Facebook but I can't seem to find the time to update the blog!! I tried to rationalize that I can facebook from my phone anytime but that's not true because I can post from my phone too- like I am now. It's definitley not as user friendly for typing but I guess short updates are better than no updates. I've managed to get so far behind that I don't even know where to begin!! The blog was supposed to chronicle Collin's life, kind of like a scrapbook but if I can't find time to blog how in the world would I scrapbook.
I think the problem is when I am home with Collin in the morning I feel bad if I'm on the computer because that is the only time I have with him. When I get home at night if I am on the computer I am neglecting Wyatt because that is our only time together. I've also found that I consistantly neglect myself- I don't exercise everyday like I should, I don't take time to eat or pack my lunch or really even cook anymore. I rush constantly and live on very little sleep and the "me" stuff is the first thing to go out the window when we are short on time-which seems to be always!
I guess that is the life of a mom. I want to be healthy and live long for Collin but I also love the quiet moments we can share together. It seems they are so few and far between and he is getting big so fast. Before I know it he will be in school and I'll never see him. He will have his friends and mama wont be mama anymore. It will be Mom or some other name that wont be said with the loving affection of the little boy who thinks his Mama is the best thing in the whole world. I'll wish we had these busy days back again so I guess I better quit whining and enjoy them!!

First Trip to the Dentist
We finally made it to Collin's 3 year check up at the pediatrician-only a month late! Collin is now 35 inches tall and 25 pounds.Yep, he's a little guy but we are on the charts now!! 10th percentile for height and 5th percentile for weight. They keep saying that he is on track to be taller than Wyatt-about 5'10. I'll believe it when I see it! The doctor also told us it was time to go to the dentist!! Oh Yay!! I am trying very hard not to relay my dislike for the dentist on Collin.The thought of going to the dentist is like voluntarily subjecting myself to torture. Fortunately as you get older you realize it is a necessary evil but it is still one of these I would rather not have to do. I distinctly remember my first dental experience and it was far from pleasant!! My grandmother ran a dental office so that is where we had to go. I remember the smells and the sounds and most of all a big fat belly leaning on me like it was going to smother me which always sent me into a panic. Needless to say each trip to the dentist was a fight!
Luckily today they have pediatric dentists that cater to kids only-so that is what we chose. So, off we went to Collin's first dentist appointment.
The office was nice and had play rooms for different ages of kids and a big aquarium which Collin loved. He was having a great time playing and wasn't really interested in stopping when it was his turn but we made it back to the room fine. Getting into the chair was another story. NO WAY! Finally he got in the chair but he wouldn't lay back and eventually it got to the point that we got the ultimatum-go with the program or mom has to leave. I went along with it for his benifit but there was no way in hell I was leaving him back there alone. If anyone is going to bear hug my kid and pry his mouth open it's ME! Been there done that and I'm not leaving him-No Way!
Luckily, that didn't happen. He finally laid back and let her look at his teeth. They really were very patient and explained everything to him. She let him feel all the tools on his fingers and hold the mirror-which seemed to totally fascinate him. He chose strawberry tooth polish and did pretty well with that part. He was ready to go after that but we still had to wait for the dentist to come in. We had to start all over when she came in but once again we made it through! When he was done he was out of there! He got his goody bag, picked out his prize and got his picture taken. I can't post it because our computer is down so I can't scan but I'll post as soon as we are back up.
They didn't seem to think he was nearly as bad as I did-or they just didn't want to tell me-LOL! They said his teeth look great and we are doing a great job brushing! Hopefully he will be blessed with good teeth-one less thing to deal with!!
When we left I asked him if he had fun and if he wanted to go back and he said "yep"! At least we ended on a high note! Off to fufill my part of the bargain-a sucker and lunch at MCL!
