A few weeks ago the family made a visit to the dentist. This was going to be Carter's first time in the big chair. Based on our experience with Callie we were a little worried (more on her later). I got to go first and they brought Carter in to watch. He decided he wanted to sit on my lap and help. The dentist let him try out each of the tools and he was quite fascinated looking inside my mouth with the big spot light turned on. When it came time for him to go had no problems climbing up in the chair and letting them go to work. They managed to floss, clean and fluoride without even a whimper. (He still thinks they painted his teeth red though because the dentist said she was going to paint his teeth with Strawberry fluoride.)
Callie unfortunately is still a different story. We always try to start with her first and it always turns into Kerry going and then Callie takes her turn while sitting on Kerry's lap. I always like to deal with moments like this by thinking that this can't possibly continue until university so at most we've got another 12 years of this. Should be a snap.
