Guess Who Had a Great First Trip to the Dentist?

This guy!

Yes, I was that mom who took her camera to the dentist for her son's first appointment. Shocking, I know.

I was really surprised when Sethie jumped right up into the dental chair when it was his turn, without even one hint of protest. Mainly because he told me all day that he was NOT going to the dentist. He felt it necessary to remind me multiple times throughout the day, even when big brother would excitedly cheer, " I am so excited to go to the dentist!"

Seth remained quite still while watching Caleb take his turn and as Rae Lynn explained all of the "fun" things she was doing to keep Caleb's teeth clean. I didn't really think she was selling Seth on the whole idea. But when Mrs. Rae Lynn called him for his ride in the "magic" chair, he jumped right in.

If I have not mentioned it before, I will say it now, we love our dental hygienist, Rae Lynn! She is so good with our boys. She actually makes going to the dentist fun and Caleb absolutely loves it! Rae Lynn had him from the moment he first sat in the dental chair, with her sweet silliness, nearly two years ago. He is always ready to go back to see her. After this trip, I think Seth's sentiments are the same.

"Mister Thirsty" was definitely Sethie's favorite part.

Dr. Dublin (who we also love) gave the boys the all clear for no cavities!  And the visit ended with Mrs. Rae Lynn giving her buddies their dental goody bags (which is Caleb's favorite part), but this time, she included an extra special treat, a gift card to Gigis cupcakes, which happens to be right next to the dentist.  YUM!  How is that for job security?

What a fun trip to the dentist!  And yes, we did brush our teeth again when we got home!
