Isaac's First Dental Appointment

 Yep! Isaac had his first dentist appointment last week and it was a total success. Oh don't worry, I had to really hype it up and prepare him for what was going to happen. A few days before his appointment we went to the library and checked out 'The Tooth Book' by Dr. Seuss. It was a perfect book describing all types of teeth and had a little bit about the dentist on the last page. I read that page with lots of excitement and told him that he would be able to visit the dentist too, just like the boy in the book. Then I told him that there were toys and a TV at the dentist which was completely honest. Our dental office was really nice, every room had a TV that kids could play Nintendo on while getting their teeth cleaned. So, after talking the dentists up and telling him that having someone else clean your teeth was "so much fun," he was looking forward to it.

 Here are some of the toys he picked out to play with while we were waiting to be called back.

There was also an awesome tree house in the office. I am telling you, this was the nicest dental office I have ever been to.

 Then when we were called back the dental assistant started off by showing Isaac what all their little gadgets did. He of course wanted them to spray the water and air on his car that he brought.

 Isaac was a little hesitant to lay back on the chair........

 so I laid down with him, but only for about 1 minute, their little sister was making it way too uncomfortable.

 When I sat up he got really nervous and wanted down but the smart assistant brought out a Lightning McQueen toothbrush and asked him to show her how he brushed his teeth.

 That too only worked for a little bit so I had the fun idea to throw Andrew up on the chair too. Plus, the dental assistant had this amazing mind boggling technological box that grabbed their attention immediately.

 A TV.

 That worked great. By then the doctor came in and was amazing with Isaac. The assistant couldn't get Isaac to open his mouth at all for her, but the doctor worked his magic and Isaac participated wonderfully. He used his mirror to "count" Isaac's teeth, that was a brilliant move to make on Isaac because we are learning how to count now so Isaac understood what that meant. Isaac even got to the point where he was telling the doctor where to count; "over here," "tight here," "count here." So cute.

 

Then of course Isaac had to use the mirror to count his car's teeth too.

 And of course Andrew ended up with the Lightning McQueen tooth brush in the end. 

 Isaac's new pj's! The best part is that they were free. Aunt Cathy gave us some hand me downs and while I was going threw them Isaac spotted Mator and had to put the pj's on.
