first dentist visit...

After screaming and having to physically put him in the chair and requiring the assistance of two other nurses to hold him down, the dentist finally got a look at his teeth. Although he has no cavities, he has a loose tooth in front! I didn't think that they lost teeth this early and it makes things kind of come full circle. All I could think about on the way home was when he cut his first teeth and how fast the time has gone. He is growing up and there is nothing I can do to stop it. The dentist finished his exam and he quit screaming jumped out of the chair tossed his cookies - twice - and then proceeded to tell me how awesome the dentist is - go figure. The nurse took him to a huge toy box where he picked out a hot wheel and received a new toothbrush. A on the other hand did really well, she just cried for a minute when he put the fluoride on her teeth, when the nurse took her to the toy box she apparently dug through the entire thing and scored four horses - leave it to that girl to find the horses. Anyway it was an interesting experience not one I am looking forward to repeating, next time I think it will be daddy's turn to take them!
