With Sophie having been to the dentist three times now, I figured Peter needed a turn to go in for a check-up. He was so excited! And so we made him an appointment. The appointment was set for 9:30am and we ended up taking Rich to work (and Sophie, it was her daddy day today) and then we had time to spare so we ran some errands. In the car he had sneakily found a bag of M&M's from yesterday. How did he find them? I didn't see them anywhere, I thought they were gone... So he is eating chocolate right before going to the dentist, and we didn't have enough time to go all the way home to brush his teeth again. So we did some 'rinse and spits' with a water bottle, and we got most of the candy debris out. The visit went along smoothly and Peter was so quiet!!! He was just watching everything, and soaking it all in. After the x-rays they took him to the open bay cleaning and exam area. The chairs were all empty and they took him to the green chair, his favorite color! How perfect! He got to watch the movie 'Cars' on the ceiling and he picked bubble gum toothpaste for his cleaning. At the end they gave him a token to get a prize and he picked the spider man tattoo! The concept of it going on and not coming right off, like a sticker is still puzzling him as he plays with the cracking and fading tattoo of spider man on his right forearm. But he loves it. He did great and there are no problems or cavities, despite his obsession with candy!
