Jak had his first dentist appointment yesterday! It went great! I HATE going to the dentist, but loved the fact that Jak got to go. I was REALLY nervous! It's a struggle sometimes to get him to brush his teeth, so I wasn't sure what to expect. I was just looking forward to "Jak and Mommy" time! I don't know if I have had time with just Jak away from the house without Frankie since Frankie was born! We were due! I think it meant more to me than it did to him. He must ignore Frank because I don't even think it phased him that he wasn't with us! Ha!
When we got to the dentist we had to wait a little, which was good. It gave Jak time to play and for us to read a couple of books before heading back. He was so brave and excited until it was time to go to the "room." He didn't like the chair and all the stuff at first. He creeped in to the room so super slow! Thank goodness Kelli was his hygienist! She was WONDERFUL!!! We finally got Jak to sit in the chair on my lap. He refused to wear the "bib" which was fine. Kelli showed him all the tools she was going to use and introduced him to "Mr. Thirsty." Mr. Thirsty is the straw. He got to hold it the whole time and turn it on and off! He was a pro! I didn't think he would like it, but he LOVED it! :) After that, it was a breeze! His teeth were counted and cleaned (with bubble gum toothpaste) and even flossed! I was so proud of him! He kept wanting to close his mouth, or he got tired of holding it open because she kept having to tell him to open wide like an alligator! He thought that was funny! Dr. Record even had to tell him to do the same thing! He walked away with sparkling teeth and no cavities! Hallelujah!
Afterwards, we went to Dairy Queen for a treat for being a good boy! He got to choose where we went. He wanted a strawberry milkshake (which we weren't even sure he'd had a milkshake before to know what one was!), but that is what he wanted! We had a great time. I didn't realize how "hard" Frankie is! It seemed so easy with just Jak! It was great! I love that boy so much!!!!
On a side note...we played our first family card game last night. Jak likes games, but doesn't like rules to games, so we don't usually play. Last night we decided to try Go Fish! It was a BLAST! Jak and I were on a team against Daddy. We won both games! ;) Jak really had fun, in between the meltdowns when Daddy took his fish away! Ha! He figured out that it's just part of the game and was fine.
I loved yesterday! :)
