The Dentist

At the end of February (before our benefits ran out) we took the kids to their dentist for their check ups. Tyler is wonderful at the Dentist and really enjoys going (especially when Rose is his Hygienist, he love Rose!). Tyler has been going there every six months since he was three (I used to work there, so he knows the office well). Plus it is Train themed and of course he LOVES that because he is a train fanatic! =)

This was going to be Nathan's first teeth cleaning. He has had his teeth "counted" before (that's what they tell them when it's a quick check that also helps them get used to it before they turn 3)

We had Nathan watch Tyler in hopes that he would not get upset when it was his turn. I think it helped a lot.I did not get a picture of him upset or crying because Josh and Tyler had to leave the room so Nathan would cooperate. He was crying for Daddy (because he's a Daddy's boy), but was not good for Daddy so I made him leave until he calmed down. Nathan knows I mean business, so it didn't take him long to settle down. After that, it was great!

Nathan let them do everything, even polish (which he did not want at first). I was so glad it went well and Nathan actually liked the whole experience afterwards =)

Rose always tells me how impressed she is about how good Tyler behaves while getting his teeth cleaned. He will ask questions when he is able too and sits really still the rest of the time. As I was posting this, Tyler said "I want to go get my teeth cleaned everyday. Can we go today?" I started laughing and said "no, only every 6 months" and he started pouting and said "Why? I like it!" =) LOL what a crack up! He should be on a commercial =) LOL I guess we succeeded in teaching them that the dentist office is nothing to fear =) LOL
