After two days at the hospital, I went back home with my mom. Unfortunately, at just one week of age, I had to go to my first dentist visit. They said that I could loose my teeth and that they could get into my lungs, so the dentist had to pull them out. The dentist just used pliers with no anesthesia, and although I supposedly cannot remember the pain, my mom could feel it. After such a traumatic experience, it took me weeks to open my eyes wide, and whenever anybody touches me (like for changing diapers), I would cry. Note the bunny named "Flurry" for scale reference. You will see pictures of me with him at my side as I grow up.
