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!

Guess he really needed that toothbrush after tossing his cookies...
We miss you!!
Gigi cut 3 teeth in one week. It has been pretty difficult. For what dentists charge I think the children should scream even harder to make them work for their money (sorry Rusty).
So he is already getting his next set of teeth and losing his current? My, my he is growing.
The toys are completely worth it though aren't they, N?
Noah, I can't believe he didn't like the Dentist. Let's just say that Blake doesn't like his dentist either. We can't get him to sit in the chair.
