Ryan's Trip to the Dentist

Last Wednesday was an eventful day.  It began with Ry's first trip to the dentist.  I was so proud of him, as he did great--actually, better than great.  With no reservation, he climbed right into the pink dental chair and did everything the hygienist asked him to.  He quickly mastered the art of suctioning, and I could tell he loved to feel the way the suction slurped up the saliva and water in his mouth.

I was also proud of my pretty princess, who waited SO patiently on a stool through Ryan's entire appointment.  And she was so sweet with Ry, showering words of encouragement to 
him--"Ry, you're doing a great job", "Oh! . . .good job, Ry".  She also whispered in my ear, "Mommy, he's doing a great job, maybe we should get him a lolipop".  Before the end of the visit, she told me that she would like to be a dentist one day so that she can wear gloves. :)

As you can tell in this picture, Ryan is unsure about these glasses.  He kept taking them off and looking at them and then putting them back on.  Of course, the dentist told us that it looks like his bite is abnormal already.  You know what that means. . .start saving for the orthodontist!!!
