I got a call two days ago reminding me
about Lex’s dental appointment today, the very same appointment
that I apparently never bothered to write down! Good thing they
call! I dropped the kids off at daycare this morning and then
went back at 10am to pick up just Lex. We chatted about the
dentist on the way over and he reminded me that they ARE NOT
allowed to use the loud brush in his mouth and that after he
got his teeth cleaned he would need a sticker before leaving.
He has a very good memory. He opened his mouth for the hygenist
and let her brush. He even let her use the “silly brush” which
is the regular electric spinning brush they normally use with a
more child-friendly top on it. He took a minute to warm up to
the idea, but the hygenist was great and Lex cooperated very
well! Then the dentist checked and all is well. They are still
monitoring that tooth that broke loose a year or so ago, but
the dentist said it was healing nicely. Lex got very excited to
choose a new tooth brush and then got his sticker in the end.
It was great. I gave him big hugs and congratulated him on
doing such a good job. :) I’m super proud of him!
