Dentist

I am such a proud and happy mommy right now that i just had to come here and brag!

Zachary went to the dentist with me this morning. He took some books and a few cars to keep him entertained while i got my teeth cleaned. The hygentist is my age and we actually were in dance class together a long time ago. We both have 2 kids and a lot in common so its always fun for me to go see her and catch up on things:) Zach sat in a chair and watched while i went first. I went into this appt with no expectations as i wasn't sure how he would react to having a stranger messing around with his mouth. He proved me so wrong!

When it was his turn he hopped right up into the chair and was thrilled to see it laid back and then would come back up again too...He opened his mouth right up and let Misti check and count all 20(almost 22)! He didn't like the bright light shining in his eyes so we turned that off...He was doing so good we asked if he wanted to have the funny toothbrush clean his teeth....He chose grape toothpaste and away she went...He thought it was the funniest thing to have water squirted into his mouth and then the sucker suck it out....He wanted to do that over and over again:) When it was all done he picked out a Shrek toothbrush and even picked out a Winnie Pooh brush for Kelsey...He's so sweet!

Dr. Heater said the only thing we need to work on is getting rid of binky...Zach really doesn't have any issues, but he mentioned that the longer we keep it then problems could happen....So we will work on getting rid of binky in the near future as it had been in our plans anyways...

On the way home in the car Zach asked if we were going to the dentist the next day(tomorrow)! haha:) So i had to explain that even though the dentist is fun we only go 2x a year....

I'm so thankful this was a great experience for all of us!!
