Davis's First Visit to the Dentist
Today was Davis's first time to visit the dentist. For the last week, we have been talking about how he is going to open his mouth and let the dentist "tickle" his teeth. I knew that the dentist would only be checking his teeth out today and not doing a real cleaning until next visit but this really got Davis excited to come to the dentist! When we walked in the door this is what we found:
I was easily able to check in and wait while Davis had a blast playing.
When Davis first went back in the office he was allowed to pick out a toy. Here he is with his prize! While I was asked a bunch of questions, one of the dental hygentists was blowing bubbles for the kids to pop and also allowing them to play with several other toys that were in the room where all the cleanings happen! What a fun place!
Davis was a TOTAL superstar when it came time to have his teeth checked out. He laid back in the chair and went "Aaaaah" just like we talked about! I just hope that I can get him to do that for everyday teeth brushing which is a tougher chore!!
Meanwhile, Isaac slept the entire visit to the dentist. When we got home though he was ready to do some kicking on his new toy that I recently found at a kids consignment sale. My little boys are growing up!!!

Charlie's first trip to the dentist was this past week, too!! Except he screamed quite loudly throughout, and get this -- they are wanting me to FLOSS his teeth!! How does that work when I am working hard just to get them brushed!!! Crazy, isn't it!
I want to see you and the boys sometime soon -- maybe we'll have to come up that way before my new job starts!
Davis - you were so brave!! Aunt Anne & Uncle CorCor are so proud of you!! We love you!!
Is that the dentist near our doctor? I've heard so many good things about. Levi has never been...I need to ask the Dr. about that at his 3 yr. check-up.
Did you get the toy at Kid's Market? Score! There is another one this weekend in the target shopping center...klassy kids.
