Dentist and School!!

On Thursday morning on June 27 they boys finally had their dentist appointment! We have been waiting for this moment for 2 months when I made the appointment because this means that Parker is now officially registered for Kindergarten!!! Still can't believe he is old enough..barely..to start school in only 8 short weeks!! He will start out the first couple months with half day kindergarten but at the beginning of November he will start going full day...eeek!! This is the first year his school has done full day, so we'll see how it goes! He is really excited and I just hope he will do okay, I'm sure he will do fine, just a little nervous right now! School starts just a mere 2 DAYS after he turns 5 so he will definitely be one of the young ones, but at least there will probably be some younger than him since the cut off is October.

Okay, back to the dentist...I was a little worried about how it would go since the place we went to serves both kids and adults. In Rexburg they just had flat squishy tables with TV's on the ceilings and headphones for the kids to watch a selection of movies while getting their teeth clean. Tyler was a little nervous at first because the office here had real dentist chairs and he wasn't quite sure he wanted to sit in it, but he was a super star and laid really still with his little sunglasses on and the tech was able to clean his teeth really fast. Turns out though that he didn't inherit my cavity-free teeth and has 3 small cavities starting to form :( The dentist and the tech were both really nice and showed and explained every tool they used and what they were going to do. He even got x-rays and did really well with those too!

Parker was also a champ and got x-rays and was even able to help hold some of the tools while he got his teeth cleaned! No cavities for this big boy and they both got balloons, goody bags and coins to trade in for little prizes! I'd say it was a good trip, especially considering Parker wouldn't even open his mouth at his last appointment in Idaho!! Good job boys :)
