LaNdEn'S FiRsT dEnTaL cHeCk-Up....

We finally made it in to the dentist after previously canceling the first appointment. I was a little nervous about taking Landen in. Cody was so good and so easy when I took him for the first time. The dentist kept telling me how great of a patient Cody was. I of course was gloating over this! I know my child is great but to hear others say it feels even better! Now I am not saying Landen isn't great too, he just handles adults and authority figures a little differently. Like, who cares, this is not what I want to do, so get me out of here! Before going to the Dentist I read him some books about the Dentist, and Cody & I told him all about it and FUN it is! Wink! Wink! We get there and they ask who wants to go first, they both answer right away that they want to go first. Nice, going great so far! So we let Landen go first, while he is still excited. He gets in the chair and the assistant begins to lower the chair. Landen did not like this and is not laying down with the chair. After a little coaxing he finally does. They actual check up went fairly well. It all went right along with the book we read a home so there were no big surprises. He was very into checking out all the tools and figured out how to turn the little vacuum suction thing on and off. She said she had never known anyone to do this and never anyone so young to figure out how all their own. When she was getting the toothpaste ready to brush his teeth he said he wanted grape. They do in fact have this but she did not ask him what kind he wanted. This surprised her too. She could not believe how smart he is for such a small child. Like I said in the beginning, I know what my child is but it sure feels good to hear it from others! Oh, and neither of the boys had cavities! Score!!!
