Kevin's trip to the dentist went so well that I was inspired to brag about it at a forum I frequent. Not that I don't brag about him other times, but this was special:)
Warning- bragging ahead!
Kevin had his first dental appointment today. I was a little worried because he's not much of a fan of holding still. I practiced with him at home by having him lay in the recliner while I counted his teeth and he likes brushing, but I was still a bit concerned. When we got there, he played in the waiting room until the assistant came for him, then he walked back without hesitating. He climbed right up in the chair, laid back, and let her put on the little bib. Whatever the dentist told him to do, he did immediately. He didn't wiggle or act shy or get nervous at all. I was amazed. I told Bob later that we could have been the "Going to the Dentist" segment on Sesame Street.
While Kevin was picking out his treat, the dentist asked me if Kevin was always this well-behaved. I told him that we had practiced a little and he thought that was great. He then told me that Kevin was one of the best first exams he's ever done and he was really impressed with how pleasant and cooperative Kevin was. He far exceeded my expectations and I'm still all warm and fuzzy about how well he did:)
