Henry goes to the dentist...

I took Henry to the dentist for the first time last month and he did SO WELL!  I scheduled an appointment for him thinking that it might take a few tries before he was actually able to handle a teeth cleaning, but I was wrong.  He made it through the ENTIRE appointment-cleaning, flossing, and flouride-without a complaint or a tear...seriously amazing!  Henry left the appointment with a little toy, new toothbrush, and ZERO cavities (and mom, ahem, left with a cavity and an appointment to return for a filling...not sure how I brush Henry's teeth better than my own, but whatever :)  I forgot my camera, and since I don't have a phone with a nice camera, our hygenist offered to take pictures and send them to me.  So glad she did!  Isn't he so cute in that chair?!






I told Henry that he should consider being a dentist when he grows up since he did so well at his appointment and he told me, "Well, mom, I want to be a farmer, and a policeman, and a fireman."  So, apparently there is no time for dentistry in his career plans...oh well :)

That's pretty cute! I think it's a good thing you forgot your camera - because the pictures probably wouldn't have included you sitting there holding his hand -- love it!
