Ben went for his first cleaning at the dentist today!

I was so excited too! What a nerd.

He was fantastic! He didn't even wait for me when the hygenist came out to get him ... off he went, sat in the chair, went for a ride, checked out all her tools, let her into his mouth with the mirror and scaling tool to count his teeth, then had his teeth polished, and finished off with a brushing with flouride foam. He was also a champion 'swish and spitter'. The hygenist was very impressed. Then the dentist came in and had a quick look too.

Afterwards he got to pick out a toy from the 'treasure chest'... he was really hyped up about that, and naturally chose a car (well, two cars). He's a kid who knows what he wants... the hygenist said most kids sort through the box for ages. Not Ben, he grabbed the first car he saw.

So there's another big milestone under our belt. What a big boy I have!
