the fun began with a visit with susan (mommy's co-worker). von adores susan and enjoyed giggling with her at the kitchen table. then we bundled up and headed to the barn (where susan keeps her horse, murphy). ok, so the barn was cool in von's book, BUT the horses were still a bit too big for von. he's warming up to them each time we go, but not completely comfortable yet (they are pretty incredibly large animals). anyways, we visited the horses, talked to the cows in the pastures, then headed to the tractor barn (aka, von heaven). von climbed onto every machine that he could. susan & i watched as his imagination went wild. it was great. we headed back down to see the horses one more time, then due to the cold weather, we ended our barn adventure.
back to susan's house we went, to clean up for the big dentist appointment. maybe now would be a good time to explain that the dentist - dr kunkel - is susan's husband and his office is located behind their house. ok, so over to the office we walked and von seemed pretty relaxed about it all. i offered to set with him in the chair, so up into my lap he crawled and the exam began. dr kunkel blew up a glove, sprayed us with the air hose, showed von all of his tools, played 'music' on von's teeth, then cleaned his chompers. von never fussed once and was an excellent patient - pretty good for a two year old, if you ask me. after von's clean bill of health, we headed back over to the kunkel house for some lunch.
it was such a fun afternoon. just look at how tuckered out von was from it all. i'm thinking this barn/dentist combo will remain a hit for years to come!
