COMMENTS:
Rose tolerated a busy day very well. She had her first dental appointment with her new dentist, Dr. Rhodes. Fortunately one of Dr. Cain’s hygienist is now working for Dr. Rhodes, so it was nice to have someone who was familiar with Rose. Rose received a good report, Dr Rhodes was a little surprised that Rose’s dental hygiene was in such good condition. Dr. Vesper didn’t attend the appointment today, he went to church for a special service and was taking a nap when we returned home.

COMMENTS:
Rose was tense and rigid during her shower today. I was rushing to get everything ready for their photography session in the afternoon and I think she sensed and resisted being rushed. They did have a great session with the photographer and I think she got some great shots. They will notify us as soon as the pictures are available to be viewed online. Take them out to dinner afterwords, but Dr. Vesper said he preferred my cooking, I told him I thought it was just too cheap to buy dinner, I think he was just tired and wanted to get home.
