Hero

Today Lucas went to the Dentist for the first time. We talked about it all week, and he was generally normal about it as far as caring or understanding what was really going to happen.

Today after he got dressed he was very excited all of a sudden to go to the teeth doctor. The entire way there he was practicing opening wide and showing his good smile to the dentist. When we got there, his eyes opened so wide and said "Mommy my name is on the board" "L for Lucas" I said that is because you get to see the dentist for the first time today! He ripped off his coat and went into the castle. Their waiting room is a castle filled with toys and crazy mirrors and fun stuff to play with.

We waited and when they called his name to go in he picked up 3 trucks and said "I am Lucas, Lucas Witte" That's right people he is no longer "Do-was" We went into a room where he watched a 5 minute video on what to expect and he told me he was very excited to meet the doctor.

We walked into the room where he gets his check up and the assistant was showing Lucas all of the cool tools, she then told Lucas that she was going to get Dr. Sean. Lucas said "Sean a boy?" She said yes, Dr. Sean is a boy and Lucas sat on the "space chair" while he waited for Dr. Sean to come in.

The exam went well, Lucas got a 98% on his brushing and plaque scale. They told me he had great teeth and said they were impressed that he didn't cry. They counted his teeth and showed him a special book of what good teeth should look like. They asked Lucas if they could take his picture because his teeth needed to be in that book. He agreed and so he got his picture taken. They told Lucas that I (mommy) was such a good mommy for helping him brush his teeth that I get a sticker because he had a great score. Lucas told me he was so proud of me. :)

Bridget a.k.a "trouble" felt that she needed her teeth checked too and climbed up on the chair to get her teeth looked at. She opened wide and giggled the whole time. They both got new toothbrushes and a little toy.

On the way home Lucas said that Dr. Sean was his hero because he didn't give him any owies. I told him that the dentist doesn't give you owies. Lucas's response was, "Oh, well he still my hero."

I love this dentist he was so awesome and so friendly and I would recommend him to anyone. He is cute too! :) He also made sure to tell me at least 2x that my children are beautiful, and that is always nice to hear! :) I especially liked that he told Lucas that he was such a good brusher that he couldn't tell what he had for breakfast. When I was little my Dentist would always guess, so I thought is was especially cool. Haha
