Stubborn and doing well

Molly went in the hot tub for the first time and had a ball.  She did a lot of kicking, but told me she didn't want to stand because her legs still hurt.  

She is giving us a very hard time at bedtime and naptime and trying all the delay tactics she can think of .   I am exhausted with all of the battles and hoping that this is a short lived phase.  It is hard because she is saying that she hurts, but only around bedtime and naptime and I don't know if it is another tactic or whether she notices pain when she is still and alone.  

I have been assured by the pediatrician that she should take a nap until she is 4 or 5 and some of my friends have gone through these phases as well and still take a nap.  

We went to a metabolic dentist (Dr. Wright) yesterday to enroll her in a DI (Dentinogenesis Imperfecta - brittle teeth) study.  He thought her front teeth were starting to wear and we will probably need to cap them in the next 6-9 months.  He did give us some hope that occasionally insurance has paid for this procedure.  If they won't it will be $5,000+ out of pocket, so we are going to begin applying for it now.
