Ollie's First Visit to the Dentist

Oliver finally had his first visit to the dentist today.  Since moving to Clay Center we decided that we might as well change our dentist to save us the drive to Manhattan.  We'd called a while back to schedule Ollie's first appointment, but they were pretty booked.  Then a bit before his scheduled appointment, they called to say we needed to reschedule.  Anyway, today worked out better because Riley and I were both able to go.

Riley and I were both a bit nervous about how he would do.  He refused to open his mouth up for his doctor at a past appointment.  At his latest well check he wasn't so cooperative during the eye exam and kept saying "I don't know" when they asked him what he saw.  We did lots of prepping beforehand and were holding our breaths really not knowing what to expect.

He more than surprised us!

He was agreeable, cooperative, and patient with everything they asked of him.

(Pais on the other hand was a bit of a mess.  About half way through the appointment she made a weird cough gagging sound.  Then about 30 seconds later she threw up everywhere.  Twice.  She has had a bit of a runny nose and we think that perhaps she had some drainage that made her tummy upset.)

Ollie got to pick out of the treasure box and was delighted to pick out an orange balloon.

After the appointment Riley needed to stop by work to grab his laptop.  He invited Ollie to go inside with him and pick out a toy for being so good at the dentist.  I assumed he was going to come out with a little $5 tractor.  Instead he comes out with a big farm set, bag of popcorn, and a huge grin on his face.  That boy!
