Clean Teeth and Squirt Guns

Today we went to dentist for the very first time.
We love to brush our teeth and have been flossing once a week for over 6 months.
Our dentist is named Dr. Jeff which makes it easy to remember because he has the same name as our Dad.
We were actually scheduled to go last Tuesday, but Toby spent Tuesday throwing up every 10 minutes. So this morning Mom and Dad picked us up from Grams house really early and told us where we were going.
Sam was excited! Toby not so much.
Once there Toby went first, he was unsure about the x-ray machine and he needed a stool to reach the lowest setting. His x-ray looked great and his teeth are healthy. Next was Sam's turn with the x-ray machine. He all but ran to it, eager to do all the dentist had planned for him. (Sam has been asking questions about teeth and we even watched a tooth extraction on youtube so he could see what pulling a tooth was like - he loved it!) His x-ray was great too and both are cavity free!
Sam got his teeth cleaned first and he had no fear! Everything was interesting and he enjoyed it.
Toby came in next and he wasn't as scared as he was during the x-ray, and by the end he was giggling at the tickles from Mr. Thirsty! (the spit sucker)
When it was all done both boys loved their clean, shiny teeth and both picked a squirt gun from the treat box! Since our weather is in the 60's today we have been outside enjoying the squirt guns.

How fun. It is so cool how they make it comfortable and fun for kids now. I don't remember it being like that when I was a kid.
