The boys took their first trip to the dentist last week. They were both a bit nervous about it, but once we got there and they saw the awesome games in lobby, they relaxed a bit. I have recently become friends with a gal that is a pediatric dentist, so it was an easy choice in going to her. Luke went first and was a rockstar. He listened to the hygienist explain each of the instruments, laughed and was ready to get the ball rolling. Perfect patient. Evan (I always have to remind myself that he is 3, not 5) was a little different. He watched Luke and saw that everything was fine, but when it came to his turn, he was pretty worked up. (Proud parent moment . . . Luke was so sweet and consoling with Ev. He rubbed his leg and said things like, "it's okay buddy, it's no big deal, I'll hold you're hand - so sweet) Anyway, Ev worked it out and did awesome, too. After they got their teeth cleaned, had x-rays, and had one last look by our friend, Ginelle, they got ice cream. Yes, the dentist office serves ice cream after the appointment. Hey, what better way to get them to keep coming back! Overall - huge success. Hopefully the same will be said in six months!
