First Visit to the Dentist

Lucas had his very first visit to the dentist today.  We were honestly expecting a disaster.  Lucas hates people in general, and he especially dislikes doctors and people that try to touch him.  Pretty much anyone he doesn't know (or even that he does know) that looks in his general direction is his enemy.  Lucas does like brushing his teeth, but only because he likes the taste of the tooth paste, he isn't really great at letting us brush his teeth.  Anyway, so with all of these factors, we really thought this was going to be awful.

So we show up and we walk back to the chair and I just decide to make things easy and I sat in the chair and put him in my lap.  I was thinking we'd just have the hygienist show him a few tools and count his teeth and call it good.  Well, that's where we started, and Lucas was totally fine with everything so she just kept going. He sat there perfectly fine for having his teeth polished, she cleaned off a little bit of plaque with the scraper, and he even let her floss his teeth.  Ryan and I just sat there in amazement.  It could not have gone any better than it did.  It was incredible.

Look at those shiny teeth!
