Last week, Colin experienced the dentist for the first time. Last summer he watched my mom (GG, as he calls her) and me get our teeth cleaned so he knew what to expect when his time came. He remembered and was excited to sit in the cool chair. They gave him these silly glasses to wear, but he loved them. Makes sense if you think about it, the light always bothers me while I am in the chair...it is pointed directly at your eyes! :)Colin loves to help brush his teeth, we try to do it both morning and night. He doesn't really like to do it in the morning because he thinks it should be just a dark time thing. We are trying to work on that! Brushing his teeth is now on his chore chart. He likes to get his sticker, so no more arguing about morning time brushing...
Anyways, he did a great job and has NO cavities! His favorite thing about his visit was the water squirter and the water sucker (where you close your mouth around it) and of course the Diego toothbrush they gave him! Dr. Dan said he has done a nice job brushing his teeth so far and to keep up the good work. He also counted his teeth and he has 20 teeth so far. Colin likes the number 20, so he just laughed!
Trip one to the dentist - completed! :)

Love the pictures! Ben has his first trip to the dentist later this summer...I hope it goes as smoothly as Colin's did! Yeah for no cavities...I still don't have any at 29...so hopefully Ben will be the same! :) Colin is so cute in the little goggles! :)
Great shots! It reminds me of Jon and Kate Plus 8 when they had their trip to the dentist with the sextuplets...Colin's went MUCH more smoothly!!! Yay! What a milestone. Holden loves his toothbrush right now and wants to do it all himself...imagine that! 20 teeth sounds like a lifetime away as we are in another teething stage at the moment! He has 8 and is working on about 4 more. Way to go, Colin, I'm proud of you for being such a big boy at your visit and taking care of all of your teeth! (I've never had any cavities either...which is nothing short of a miracle with my sweet tooth.)
