I finally made a right diagnosis of my own child and poor nixon will need to have his frenulum clipped. Unfortunately, he will need to go to an ENT pediatric specialist at CHOC to have it done (I was hoping his pediatrician would just do it in the office). The procedure itself only takes a minute or so, but because he's so young, he will probably have to have a little conscious sedation, making it an outpatient surgery. We just have to wait for the insurance approval, make the appointment, and get rid of his little snake tongue.
Logan was a good boy at the appointment....surprise, surprise. He let me know that he needed to go to the bathroom so I was pretty happy with that. The examination room that we were in was right by the checkout counter (aka: lollipop counter), so my sneaky child stood at the doorway and waited for every Dr. and nurse to walk by, got their attention, pointed to the lollipops and received many.

I'm so sorry about little Nixon needing surgery. Is Dr. Camilon your ENT by any chance?
Oh buddy. That is such a bummer. Any procedure for your child has got to be so scary!
I'm sure Dr. Chang was very impressed about Logan being potty trained!
PS...as a nurse...will you tell me if my child has anything wrong with her??
sleeping through the night and potty trained!? now you are making me feel bad...
Thats a bummer about Nixon and his darn frenulum. It is never easy to have a child have to undergo any procedure but I'm sure they are pro's there at CHOC!
Kudos for Logan for being such a good boy let alone letting you know that he needed to go to the bathroom. Phearon would have peed his pants right then and there, I'm sure of it! Maybe I need to run out and get myself a bucket of suckers hun.
