It was a busy morning.  We started with Logan’s routine dental appointment at 8am.  When we finally got to the dental chair, Logan was hesitant, but finally was willing to sit on the chair with me.  The hygienist managed to clean with his teeth without any crying.  We decided to defer taking x-rays this time to make this visit simpler.  The dentist did not see any obvious cavities.  He did suggest that Logan’s teeth are quite tight together, and thus from now on, we have to do a better job flossing to avoid cavities.

      I then took Logan to school and met up with Stuart there for Logan’s first parent teacher conference.  Logan’s main teacher and the school director sat with us to talk.  It was a longer meeting than scheduled since the director was quite chatty, but it was a constructive meeting.  Basically Logan’s behavior is consistent with what we observe at home.  According to the teachers, Logan is not a risk taker and prefers in his safe zone.  He likes to hang out only with his friends, Rohan, Zach, Ian and Jaime.  He prefers playing with building toys, and will shy away from any other or new toys.  He prefers to be an audience for group activities, and will stay in the back to observe instead.  His preference extends to food too; when classmates are trying new tastes for some learning experience, Logan will refuse to take bites.

      Stuart and I agreed with the teachers’ observation.  We do baby Logan a lot at home which we have to stop soon.  We also now have many things to do and change to help build up Logan’s confidence and improve his social skills.
