{Finally}

FINALLY, this boy sat through a dentist appointment. The hygienist and dentist are wonderful, and they made it so fun. If you have kiddo with anxiety about visiting the dentist for the first time (yes, he's 3 1/2 but would not let them examine him until now), then practice, practice, practice.
For our last FHE on the word of Wisdom, we played dentist for the activity (the metal pic, floss, the tiny mirror, new toothpaste and toothbrushes, the works). Then, for an entire week we kept practicing, and for two weeks we read the Usbourne book, "Going to the Dentist" about kids going through the whole exam.
Ry had anxiety while watching Maisey go first, but he ended up loving and said, while waiting for the dentist after the hygienist, "I want to be a dentist."
It was great. One more milestone and anxiety out of the way!
