First time to the dentist

We took Josh for the first time to the dentist, not because he needed it but we want him to get used to it. Other than checking it all out and heading straight to the computer, did was a champ. The dentist said he had great teeth thus far with good spacing.

Way to go Joshy. 

At 18 months

So what was Josh like as a toddler?  When you go to the mall or the Ocean World Aquarium, most kids would keep a watchful eye on their parents. You know, running like a kid runs but every now and again, looking back. Not Josh. He could care less where his parents are.  In fact, he runs up to complete strangers, holds his hands up begging to be lifted, in areas where we are no where to be seen yet, and offers a cuddle to anyone.  The bewildered victim, looks around for a parental approval or permission, hoping he might will not be accused of child theft, while a little blonde kid gives everyone a smile as big as can be. 

What else you ask?  Most toddlers, at least his crowd, are scared to death of the big fuzzy characters walking around theme parks greeting the guests. Again, not Josh. He loves them.  In fact, won't leave them alone even when they have moved on to other kids. The one who ends up tormented seems to be the stuffed character, not Josh.
