Young Warrior

Owen had his first dental appointment this morning. He was excited about it and told me so on the way. I had tried to prepare him for whatever might happen but let him know that everyone in the office is very nice and they would know his name when he came in and would treat him very special. And they did.

He loved the attention of course and cooperated pretty well. They put a movie on the television screen for him and he enjoyed that but got a little caught up in it at times and didn't notice that they were asking him to open his mouth wider or turn a certain way.

He looked small again to me in that great big chair. So often he seems to be so big against the backdrop of little brothers. The hygienist was miss Beth who has been "our girl" for some time and she was so patient and perfectly informative for Owen. He loves to be prepared for what's going to happen and she showed him each instrument and what it would do, even allowing him to handle a few of them.

Owen really enjoyed it and his teeth and bite are in good shape.
