Teancum had his first dentist appointment today. I sure was amazed. It made me laugh because he was so excited to have his own dentist appointment. He was happy and cheerful while we drove there. Smiling and curious while mom gave the secretaries his information. Skipping while we went to the room. Almost bouncing when he got into the giant chair. And then they flipped the swith on the T.V. and turned it to cartoons. My knowledge hungry child immedietly transformed into a zombie. The only times his eyes came off the screen was a quick glance at the tools the hygenist uses and when the Hygenist was showing him how the chair leaned back. It startled him and he kept trying to sit up while the back of the chair reclined. He looked back to make sure that it was alright to lie down and then it was back to the T.V. Even when he got the goodie bag he was only half interested. Forget sedating just put on the T.V. and my boy is calm as the eye of a tornado...of course as soon as the T.V. went off he was up and active following the hygenist to the toy box where he got not one but two toy prizes, and a goodie bag for being so cooperative.
I have no doubt my boy likes to go to the dentist.
Outside the Dentist's...Ready to go

What a brave boy! Good job. Do you like your dentist? We need to get to one soon!
Yup, he's was really good with Teancum and there is hardly ever any wait, I think the longest was 5 min. Call me and I'll give you his name.
