A few days ago Will turned 18 months old. That, of course, means the time has come for his 18 month check up and his first dental appointment. Amazingly, he had both of them this week! Monday was his first trip to the dentist and today was his check-up.
Monday went amazingly well. I expected him to cry and scream. I mean, who likes the dentist? Not at all the case! All the hygienist had to do was show him the toothbrush and he opened his mouth for her just like he does for me everyday for brushing! I was so impressed. Really the only thing he didn't seem to like very much was the fluoride treatment. Even then he only whimpered about it for a second. The entire staff seemed to agree that it was the best dental visit they have ever seen for a guy so young!
Will was in a completely different mood today. He cried the minute we got into the room. He didn't want to be weighed or measured at all. He didn't scream bloody murder or anything, he just kept crying and giving me sad eyes. He apparently remembers that that is where he gets shots! And, of course, he got two shots today! :( Poor little fella just couldn't catch a break! He was a good boy about them and the doctor was happy with his development so I can't complain at all. It was just sad. When we got in the van he said to me, "Momma, it hurts!" Hopefully the soreness will be gone by the morning!
