Mommy and Aidan day

Mommy took a day off today to take you to your 2nd dentist appointment. Daddy took you the first time a few months ago. I was so nervous because I honestly didn't know what to expect. I knew that I did everything I was supposed to do since your last appointment- brushing your teeth at least 2 times a day with fluoride toothpaste and flossing. However, I didn't know how you would react going to the dentist. I know how much you hate going to your doctor. Well, I had nothing to worry about. You were an absolute dream.

We take you to a special children's dentist so everyone was super nice and the office was so child-friendly. The dentist was so gentle and had me holding you facing me and then got me to lean you back to rest your head on the dentist's lap (with a pillow underneath your head). You were totally comfortable with that. She even asked you to open your mouth and you did! I guess all those daily teeth brushings where I got you to say 'ahhhhh' payed off. She was able to check all your teeth and I found out that your bottom molars are coming out (yay!) and your teeth are in good shape. She kept saying how good you were and she even cleaned your teeth and polished them with fluoride. I was so proud of you. I wish I thought to take some pictures of you getting the check-up. Next time!

Afterwards the dentist gave you a bag full of goodies- a new Toy Story toothpaste, a Winnie the Pooh toothbrush, a Toy Story floss and a ball. You were so pleased that you held so tightly onto that bag for the whole day. In the reception room the receptionist got you to pose beside the giraffe (see above) and you even said, "Cheese!" She promised that your picture would be up on their digital picture frame the next time you are due for your appointment.

I was thinking of treating you to breakfast at Sunset Grill after your appointment, but the dentist told me to hold off on giving you food until after half an hour (because of the fluoride on your teeth). I decided to drive to your Toronto grandparent's café instead. We weren't able to see them on Sunday so this was a perfect opportunity. Plus, you love hanging out with them. We spent the whole morning hanging out at the café and having breakfast. Here's a picture of you saying "Cheese" for the camera. What a sweetie you are.
