1st Dentist Appointment!

Holding Daddy's hand until he got more comfortable!

Today Aidan had his first dentist appointment. He at first was not at all sure about it and when I tried to sit him down into the chair he would not let go of my neck until we compromised and let him hold daddy's hand. He didn't like the idea of the chair going backwards either into the reclining position and when the hygienist tried to give him a mirror to hold he wouldn't let go of the sides of the chair. So daddy held it. That made things better.

He loved to play with all of the fun "toys" like the water and air and the sucker thingy. In fact the dental hygienist let him hold the water/air thingy and he had fun blowing air into his hair!! We were all laughing. When the doctor came over, he was a bit worried we were giving Aidan ideas and that Aidan would squirt him with water. It was all really funny. Here are a few pictures from the visit. John had the day off unfortunately (they laid him off for today, hopefully he works tomorrow) so he was able to come. I was hoping that would happen on Thursday since that is my first OB appointment but Aidan sure enjoyed having daddy share in his new experience!! What a big boy he is!

As always, we have more photos and such at our dropshots account. I didn't post all the photos on this blog because it would take up to much room.

Aidan with the dentist. He thought he liked pretty silly with the two sets of glasses. But he did so well and actually let the dentist look into his mouth, something the doctors don't get to see unless they use that wood popsicle stick thingy. The best part was at the end when he was able to "slide" down the chair! They raised it so it was pretty tall and had him slide off the end into my awaiting arms. He LOVED it. On top of it, he picked out a cool new toy from their toy bin and was able to pick out a new toothbrush and got some new floss and such!! Just like Mommy and Daddy get when we go to the dentist!

Not liking the reclined position as much and holding on for dear life!
