First Dentist Appointment

Today Alex had his very first dentist appointment. He got there early and played with the toys in the waiting room. Then he met the hygienist.

He wore the sunglasses because of the bright light overhead.

He got to check out all of the nifty tools the dentists use...

They showed him how the water squirter works.


And of course he got to meet Dr. Barnes


He has no cavities, and he is a very good tooth brusher. His next appointment is in March.

At nearly the same time, Genevieve and I went to see her pediatric ophthalmologist. Her cataracts have not gotten any bigger or worse! So for now we just wait and see. She'll be back for another check up in January.

Later tonight we had loads of fun playing guitar.


More details and pictures soon from our weekend with Grandma Moira and Grandpa Michael. (Here's a hint: they had a ball!)

He looks so trusting and comfortable in the dentist chair. This is so much different from Grandma Carla's visits to the dentist! I usually white knuckle the chair arms, and sometimes that is AFTER the Valium and Nitrous Oxide. Sheesh!

The Dentist is our Friend! It also helps to keep teeth brushed and flossed. Drink lots of milk and avoid white wine (the acidity destroys enamel and brain cells). I'm good with all except the white wine. I'll work on that one.
