open up and say...


AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Carter had his first trip to the dentist this morning. We've discussed it for a month now trying to prepare him for going. He was excited to go. He was perfect in the waiting room, even when there were other children that were snatching toys from him & not sharing. He was great when he sat in the chair. It all changed when he had to actually have his teeth cleaned. That's when the crying began. After it was all over he got stickers, a new toothbrush with an alligator cover and a cool lizard. Most importantly we got a good report...his teeth look great! Keith & I took him out to lunch after the appointment and treated him to ice cream. Surely that made it all worth it.
UPDATE: Going to the dentist must have made an impression on Carter. He has brushed his teeth 4 times since we got home. And not just for 2 minutes, more like 20-30 minutes per time. Can you overbrush I wonder???
