We discovered the world’s best pediatric dentist a few years back. His name is Bo Townsend, but he allows his patients and their parents to affectionately call him Dr. Bo.

LG teases me that I have a crush on Dr. Bo, but we all know it is just a joke, and plain not true. I just love Dr. Bo because he is so good with the kids. Him and his office staff make going to the dentist a totally uplifting experience. (and that’s not just because of the monkey mask gas breathing)
Unfortunately, Dr. Bo has no webpage or decent online link, or I would give him some linklove. For locals who may be lookiong for the best pediatric dentist ever, here is his phone number: 865-522-5437
If I had a crush on Dr. Bo before, then I am now in love with the man….he turned my sweet Sophia from a four front tooth pirate into a beauty with a glowing smile. I can’t help but think of Laura Ingalls Wilder every time I see her now. Her new darling smile just makes me so happy.
Sophia posted about her recent tooth extraction experience, here.

Here is what Sophia’s teeth have looked like for the past 6 weeks.
And, then she just had to breathe some of the magic air that made her float in mid-air. This stuff is the true magic, Sophia didn’t even flinch when Dr. Bo was stabbing her with the longest numbing needle I have ever seen.
Can I please get some of that for home?
Nice monkey nose.

Dr. Bo yanked the teeth out while I had stepped out in the hall to talk to Bobbie.
I can’t believe I missed it! (I think that Bobbie was in on the motherly distraction)
Sophia didn’t even know that he had taken them out, now, that’s expertise.

Here are the leftover holes.

And, is this not the cutest smile you have ever seen?

Seriously, I don’t expect it to have the same effect on you, but it just makes me cry….so sweet.
And, we got through all of this without any tears, except for mine when I found out I missed all the action. And, also, I am not counting the tears that were shed while the last affects of the magic gas were wearing off. We were halfway home by this point, and a girl has no control over how that magic gas effects her hormones, does she?
And, the last part of the story. I (being the mom that I am) told that cheap toothfairy that he better pay up good. This girl deserved more than just $1.

Prego Pains

We all know the pain of finding cute maternity clothes that actually fit, but what in the world is the first pregnant man going to do?

Maybe this pregnant girl turned guy could buy some of Nicole Richie’s new line?

It’s just WRONG! As far as I am concerned, this “man” is still a “woman” or she better become a woman again really fast. Last time I checked there is no way a “man” can actually labor and deliver.

And I have living proof…when LG “delivered” his 10mm kidney stone his urologist said that he was going to mail the stone to Japanese doctors who said it was impossible for a man to pass a stone that big.

I guess the Japanese are really going to freak out when they hear a man has passed a baby through his canal!

I have one request – can I be in the room?

One manly man

There may be eleven ways to die in Australia, but don’t fret, Superman resides in Australia too. This hubby gave an all new meaning to living down under.

Man, LG can only hope for an opportunity such as in this news story to show his bravery. If he was to jump on the back of a crocodile for me and repeatedly poke it in the eyes to prove his chivalry, there is no telling what I would do to show my gratitude. I may even start ironing his shirts!

The Earth has officially been flooded

What do Snoop Doggy Dog and the Book of Mormon have in common?

They could very well both be victims of a crazy blogger snapping a photo or photoshop (you decide)
Check it out on Mia’s blog. Thanks to Renee for the link…it most definitely made my day.

And, as for the post title. Here is the quote from a Latter-day prophet, Ezra Taft Benson: “The Book of Mormon is the instrument that God designed to ‘sweep the earth as with a flood, to gather out [His] elect’ (Moses 7:62). This sacred volume of scripture needs to become more central in our preaching, our teaching, and our missionary work.” Ensign, Oct 2005, 60–62

Pizza Hut

Would someone really shoot a man to get a free pizza? Nobody’s shooting this pizza man.

As Glenn Reynolds says, “Uh huh. Good thing he didn’t listen (to pizza hut’s policy for pizza deliverers to NOT carry guns) or he might be being carried by six instead of subjected to mealy-mouthed HR flackery from one. “

I am glad this lowly pizza guy is safe, but I have to admit that I am an idealist that wished we lived in a society where NO ONE would be packing a gun. But, if the bad guys are going to have guns, then it is only fair that the good guys are equipped with one too.

Speaking of Pizza Hut, have you tried thier new PizzaMia? If you buy 3 pizzas, you can get a Little Ceasar’s type deal with more flavor…$5 a pizza. The downside, you can’t order the dilectable crazy bread and you have 3 pizzas that you have to eat!
