Elliot had his first dentist apt today and really put all of us adults to shame.
This THREE year old did EVERYTHING that the hygienist asked. He did it with a smile, with poise, respect, and joy.
Basically, he SHOCKED the hygienist...
But he didn't shock his Mama ;)
He declared, " we got the goop off of my teeth!"
**note: before I took him today I acted very excited and told him that we were going to the dentist to get sparkles on our teeth.
He held a mirror up and watched as he got his teeth cleaned and flossed. Then he pointed out his new sparkles (they were in his eyes too).
* the photo is when E was newly 3. Though you can't see it well here, this is his first scultpure with a distinguishable face. It actually had EYEBROWS!
Wow. You are such a great mom, and it shows in things like this. You give Elliot so much encouragement and positive reinforcement. It comes from your own fearless heart, Lizzie. He gets it from you!
