Milestone Part II

So this week it was Evan's turn to go to the dentist. I prepped him, showed him Tyler's picture so he would be prepared for the big chair, and we practiced opening his mouth wide.



But there's prepping, and there's the actual experience.



He was not a very happy camper! Did not like the big chair, and DID NOT want to let anyone into his mouth! He clamped shut tighter than an oyster holding onto a pearl. The good news is, this is a pediatric dental practice, so they're used to this kind of thing. The hygenist even told me at the beginning not to worry if they couldn't do the cleaning - that this is a very difficult age for this sort of thing. And alas, there was no cleaning. But he did eventually open wide enough to let the dentist count all his teeth and quickly check them for cavities. She also did a quick and crafty application of flouride!



Here he is, with Dr. Davis, looking none too happy!




He was much happier after he got his balloon!!
