Leon's Firsts

While we were on hibernation mode from blogging, Leon had several new firsts.

He had sushi for the first time (he loved it!). Ok, I know toddlers probably shouldn´t eat raw fish (well American children according to various books and experts but millions of children in other parts of the world eat all types of sushi and other items). We were not planning on giving him any but he grabbed a piece and then another. I think he was most intrigued by eating what his dad was eating; he especially liked using the chop sticks.

That same day, he had his first real hair cut. I have attempted to cut Leon's hair myself but was never successful enough to call it a haircut. We took him to a fancy kid's salon. As you can see in this picture, he hated the process.
Almost as much as he hated....



He had his first dentist appointment. Some books and experts say children should go to the dentist as soon as they have their first tooth or at one but others say 2. Here the children are not accepted to see a dentist until they are 2. The dentist said Leon´s teeth are healthy and look like they are coming in fine. We doesn´t have the best genes for teeth. Both Jeff and I had braces and I reached 32 with three baby teeth (I had one removed in high school. So what I am saying is I kept four of my teeth that I got before I turned 2 which usually are replaced by your adult teeth when you are a little older. This is apparently hereditary. Hopefully he Leon doesn´t have to deal with that.
