4 Years Old and He Knows the Tooth Fairy
2:23 PM Edit This 0 Comments » Dental Problems are common with Russian orphans, as a result of a combination of things, including poor nutrition.
SVZ had to have dental work done yesterday and he had to go into the hospital under general anesthesia to have it done. We went to 4 different dentists and each one agreed that without sedation, the process would have to be with SVZ in a straight jacket and in multiple sessions, which could really do some damage mentally. So the little trooper went in with a mouth full of teeth and came out with two less molars, two less front teeth, two caps and two fillings. The Dentist told us that SVZ's mouth was the smallest that he has ever worked in to that extent.
He was only able to sip some juice and had about a jar and a half of baby food yesterday. Today he is coming around. The gauze fell out, he has had juice and three soft baby foods and he managed to get one animal cracker down using his other teeth! The look on his face was priceless when he placed the animal cracker up to the spot where his usual teeth would take a good chomp out of it and there was nothing but space.
The Tooth Fairy came and brought him a Peter Rabbit Book and a Tow-Mater 'Doctor" towtruck.
He doesn't let me wipe his mouth too firm yet so I will get him in the tub soon and that should take care of the messy puss. 
Update: Evening is here and after a warm bubble bath, he is looking much better!
Jupiter Jubilee
9:42 PM Edit This 0 Comments »SerVlad and I went to the Jupiter Jubilee today. We parked at the high school and took the trolley to the Jubilee and back. While at the Jubilee, Sergio went in a few bounce houses, one was a regular bounce house, one was a tall one that he climbed up and slid down (of course he had to slide head first!), and one was a long obstacle-style course. Busch Wildlife was there with an exhibit and SerVlad and I pet a baby alligator and an opossum. That was nothing new for SerVlad as he goes to Busch Wildlife so often that he could be a tour guide! SerVlad had a balloon made into an airplane for him.
We got to go inside a huge fire rescue truck and SerVlad asked the fireman a most relevant question: Where are the Police DOGS????? Too funny!!! He got a coloring page to bring home. Unfortunately the new memory card I bought on the way there didn't work because of the pixels of my camera (older) so I exchanged it on the way home. Enjoy!
