Alaric's first trip to the dentist

When you turn three, the dentist allows the little ones to come in, watch you get your teeth cleaned and if you are ready for it, kids can get their own teeth counted or even cleaned.

We had to cancel the first appointment because of Brian's grandpa being sick so this was definately an event we had been looking forward to today.

He watched me very carefully and was so eager to climb in the chair when Kristen said it was his turn.

She counted each of his teeth.

Then she asked if he wanted his teeth cleaned and "tickled" and he said YES....so, he got bubble gum flavored toothpaste and got each of his teeth tickled and sparkled. He did great. I thought he might freak out when she squirted the water and used the suction but he LOVED IT! He loved it all. He was perfect, absolutely perfect.

Kristen got a mouth full from him including a full conversation about being named after his great Gramps who just died and was in heaven with Jesus, about his doctor, Dr. Tripathy who once had to look at his penis, and about only brushing his teeth once a day, not two and that mommy doesn't floss-only daddy! We laughed about it but seriously, we are going to have to have a talk about what we should and shouldn't tell everyone we know.

HEre is is picking out a new CARS toothbrush. He also got some kid floss and got to pick a prize. What a day!
