FAMILY: Mac Goes to the Dentist

Mac had his dentist appointment today and I was kind of nervous about it.  This is the kid that we have to get in a crazy wrestling hold just to brush his teeth.......

We got to the office and it was really cute (the walls were painted adorably).  There was a cute little kids playroom that Mac immediately found.....

They called us back and this is the only part of the appointment that Mac cried...and he cried because we took him away from the playroom.  Silly boy.  They put us in the Finding Nemo room which made Mac crazy happy.  The dental assistant cleaned Mac's teeth with a toothbrush (they can't use the electrical one yet because he is not old enough).

Mac did amazing!  He opened his mouth.  He didn't cry.  He didn't bite.  AMAZING.  While we were waiting for the dentist to come back, Mac "colored."

The dentist came in to look at Mac's teeth.  She said they look great and that his second year molars should be coming in sometime soon.  When they wanted him to open his mouth they told him "open your mouth like an alligator" well that didn't super influence him so I said "open your mouth like a dinosaur" and that did it!  That mouth came wide open.  The whole time the dentist's hand was in his mouth he was talking about dinosaurs' mouths and T-Rex's.  He is a silly little man who loves his dinosaurs.
