Ziyan had his first dentist appointment today. I actually took all three kids in and let's just hope this was the hardest triple dentist appointment I'll ever have.
Lately Ziyan has been a handful. He's exploding out in every direction. He is saying tons of new words, basically anything you say, he says it back to you. And a ton of it is sticking!
He has preferences and strong STRONG desires. Cake for breakfast. Cat (MIAOW!) videos on YouTube. Everyone must wear their SHOES. He wants to take the trash out on his schedule, NOW. He wants MORE toothpaste. We must sing the DADA song a lot. (Dada repeated seven times, basically.) Just assume that these all caps words are him screaming his preference at me. He hangs onto my legs when he wants to be picked up and if I don't comply, he literally hangs on my leg while I walk around.
I've been joking that he's a Gemini and we are just getting to know his evil twin. And I've been praying that his evil twin only shows up for these insanely early terrible twos and recedes soon after.
But he's also blowing kisses and giving the squeeziest of hugs. He's snuggling more like a big kid. He's hard to please and rather ungrateful but he obviously LOVES the heck out of us.
Now, back to the dentist. 1. That was horrible. 2. She said, "He is in the thick of it, mom. There are eight teeth coming in. Have you noticed a change in temperment?"
YES! YESSSS! Maybe his Gemini twin is not evil. Maybe he's just hurting. And cat videos, and taking it the trash, and cake for breakfast makes it better.
