Elijah at the Dentist

Elijah had his first real dentist appointment this morning. He's been there before but it was just a "get to know the dentist" type appointment where he sat in the chair and let them look at his teeth. This time he sat up in the chair and let the dentist look at all his teeth. Then she asked me if we wanted to try the polishing on him. I said sure, since I had just packed up the 2 kids and driven 40 minutes to get there! I wasn't going to leave after 5 minutes!! Plus, I wanted to see how he would react. Well, he was a star! He got some funky glasses and a mirror to watch with. The dentist and the assistant Tamara were really good with him. So, he got the full works: polish, floss and even fluoride! The only thing he didn't like was the suction tube so we avoided that. They couldn't believe that at 2 he was willing to go through all that without a problem. Guess it pays off to do regular flossing and brushing at home. :) I took some pictures cause it was pretty cool and I was really impressed. :)
