We took Eli to the dentist the other day for the first time. I was so worried that he was going to do horrible at this. Because he really really hates the doctor, even when they aren't doing anything to him. But he did surprisingly very well. I was very proud of him. I was getting my teeth cleaned first, so they just had him lay down on my belly to help him feel more comfortable. It definitely helped that Jill ( my stepsister, and Eli's aunt), was the dental hygienist that worked on him first and cleaned his teeth. She was so good to tell him what the instruments did, and what she was doing in his mouth. She was really good with him, so then by the time the dentist came in to see him, he was all ready to just lay there and let the dentist look at his teeth. So Eli had his first dentist appointment at 2 years 6 months old. And you will be glad to all know that he has all his teeth and they are healthy and pretty clean. Just need to work a little harder on flossing. Do you know how hard it is to floss a two year olds teeth?
