Going to the Dentist

So this morning Ashton had his second dentist appointment. Last time we couldn't do the x-rays and he was really nervous, even though he did great. This time he was excited to go. They had talked about brushing there teeth in school this week and for some reason this made him excited to go to the dentist. We walked in and he patiently waited for his turn and then his name was called. Of course the first thing they want to do is the x-ray. He hid behind and me and said no. I showed him the machine and told him it was a big camera that takes pictures. I also said in order to take the really neat pictures he had to sit in a special chair with a special cape. He hopped right up there and smiled. I had to leave the room, but he followed all the instructions of the technician and was really good. The Dentist later told us he took textbook perfect x-rays. This was amazing considering he normally can't sit still for more than 30 seconds. He was an angel for his cleaning and followed all the instructions. Everyone was so impressed and said what a wonderful boy he was. Boy has he grown up in six months. His teeth were very clean with just a little plaque on the back teeth, but no cavities! Wohoo. If we keep this up he will always like going to the dentist. He got a sticker, a treat, a balloon, and toy for being such a good boy (all from the dentist). I was so proud!
