Today was Cullans first dental appointment. We took him to this awesome pediatric dentist in our area. We will call her DR. K. She was awesome. Very patient, tons of fun things to make the dental chair not so scary. First of all when we got there Cullan climbed right up in the chair. Then he started scoping things out a little. They let him pick out his very own toothbrush. Then the let him pick out his favorite flavor of toothpaste. Then she came in and she turns the overhead light one and shines it on his toes and then his knees etc all the way up to his teeth. That is when Cullan got a little stand offish. She tried to get him to open his mouth to which he said " No WAy". For any of you that know my son or see him on a regular basis- this is a common phrase. Anyways she finally convinced him to open up with some singing. Cullan let her brush his teeth and was thrilled when he got to pick a toy out of the treasure chest when it was all over. Unfortunately he does have a cavity between his front two teeth. Argg. That kid always puts up a fight for me to brush his teeth. Anyways she was very nice about it, not making me feel like a bad mom. She said she had a two year old at home and she has to practically wrestle her to the ground to get her to brush her teeth. She said that between the teeth is especially hard because at this age the don't exactly let you floss. Needless to say by the time it was time to leave Cullan did not want to.. I guess good for him we get to go back!

I am gonna be in for it...none of my kids have been to the dentist.
Dallin likes to take his clothes off too, but he only takes off his pants. He keeps on roos and his shirt.
And finally, you are such a brave and crafty mom. Yay for you!
