This morning I had an important mission to do when I got to school.  I had a note that I had to take to the office.  It said I needed early dismissal to go to the dentist.  I did my job, and the office lady put a big neon green sticker on my shirt that said Early Dismissal.

At 2:30pm the office called my teacher and she sent me to the office where I found Barbara and GGF waiting to take me to my six month dentist check-up.

Behavior = Purple = Top of the Chart.    Oh what a good boy am I!

GGF waited in the reception area of the dentist office, while Barbara went with me for my check-up. 

The first thing we did was take an x-ray. I had to stand very still in the middle of this big machine, which moved all around me. 

I did it perfectly.

The hygienist cleaned my teeth.  Barbara remembered her name was Carrie.  Barbara said she can remember because another word for cavity is carie.  Carrie told me to be sure to floss and brush twice a day.  I"m good about brushing twice a day, but don't always floss.  I'll try to do better.

Three of my six-year molars are completely in.  The fourth one is almost in.  When I come back in six months they will put a sealant on them.  The dentist said I will probably quit grinding my teeth when my permanent teeth come in. 

They took four more x-rays with a hand held machine. 

The dentist looked at them all and said my teeth are in good shape and are doing just what they are supposed to do.

The last thing was the hygienist painted some fluoride on my teeth.   I was a perfectly happy, friendly, talkative boy during the entire appointment.   I got two coins for the gum machines.  I choose two small balls.  We love those balls.  We play with them in the kitchen, making sure we cover the garbage disposal and move the trash can, so the balls don't go in those places.

I played with Anthony, Alyssa, and Cole at all three of our homes.  Mommy and I had to go over to Andy's to give him Anna Kate's car seat from Barbara's car.  Kristan's parents came to town at 1:30p this afternoon and will stay until 1:30pm on Friday, giving Barbara a break from babysitting.
