Another First

Ryan made his first trip to the dentist office this week. He was an exemplary patient! Doesn't it just make you so proud when your kids impress the public? He started by sitting in a chair and watching me first. He even used the vaccuum to suction water out of my mouth. (Always the little helper :)


Ryan sat very patiently and responded to all of the dentists requests. He really liked the Bubble Gum toothpaste too. They took a picture of him and put it on the wall for everyone to see for years to come. Now we are working on getting Ryan to stop sucking his thumb, which will be a real challenge. The dentist says it's causing his teeth to shift. Last night we put a bandaid on his thumb as a reminder to stop. I also bribed him with a trip to another basketball game if he stops. Here are some pictures for you.
