HUT's Goes to the Dentist

In the midst of all of the craziness that seems to never end in our lives at the moment, HUT had his first trip to the dentist. I know that many people think that he's a bit young at 16 months to be taking a trip to have his teeth checked, but since he's had soo many teeth for soo long (16 total as of right now), we decided that it was time. Not to mention that everyone on the news had us scared to death about taking good care of his teeth from a young age.

I picked the office that we went to mainly because of the reputation, but also because of the really sweet "under the sea" theme of their office. HUT was immediately sold when he walked in and saw a huge fish tank. Once we went back to the check-up area we had to wait a bit, so HUT got to run around the room and the assistants gave him a couple of balls to play with, which was a big hit.

All in all, I'm glad that we took him, although I'm not really sure how necessary going every six months will be. His teeth are in great shape and she took all of five minutes to determine that. How she coaxed this child into letting her pry around in his mouth is beyond me, but it worked and we all left relatively unscathed.

My mom came along and was going to sit in the waiting area, but once I found out that he'd have to sit on my lap, she came in to take over photography duties once the doc arrived. You better believe I had to get this on camera!
