The dentist (11/16/16)

Porter had his first dentist appt.  he was a rock star.  First he watched during my appt, asked 1 million and 1 questions and then hopped up in the chair for his turn.  I was so proud of him.  He was just supposed to have an initial get comfortable with the dentist appt,  but they had time and he was so good that he got the whole works.  Bubble gum toothpaste and raspberry fluoride to boot.
Then after wards he got to pick a prize.  He came back with

a new nerf gun.  What?!  He was thrilled.

Bike rider (11/21/16)

It's official. Today Porter took off riding his bike with no training wheels.  He only practiced in our driveway, but he could start, turn and ride fast. I'm actually super impressed because we have not practiced much.  He was so excited and so happy.  When I watch him do new things like this, it makes me excited for all his firsts and how liberated his little body and brain will be.
