Ok loyal readers, we are once again embroiled in a blog popularity contest and we need your help! To vote for us, please go to TopMomma and click on this adorable picure of my son Joshua on his first trip to the dentist:
(I took this with my camera phone so the quality’s not great but the cuteness is spectacular!)
Then, repeat as many times as you like. There is no limit to how many times you can vote! So please, pretty please go to TopMomma and vote for us!
Now, since you are good loyal readers and are going to vote for us numerous times, I will tell you the story behind the pic. Two months ago, I took Joshua to the dentist for the first time. I was very nervous, because Joshua is a bit of a scaredy cat, and even I hate going to the dentist and I’m not a three-year-old. So, I entered the exam room with much trepidation. But Joshua really exceeded my expectations (which is why I set them so low, ha ha)! The dental hygienist was great and she gave him the silly sunglasses to wear so the exam light wouldn’t blind him. She explained everything she was going to do and took it easy when he started to freak a little. (“I don’t like that!” he told her about a thousand times.) She really was great at her job and finally made him feel comfortable enough to do a fairly decent cleaning. Shew! I was prepared for a mega-fit, but instead of a snotty, tanrtum-throwing boy, what I got at the end of the appointment was the smiling, cheesy, cute, happy little guy in this picture. I was so proud of him!
But I’m still really glad we only have to do that every six months. My nerves can’t take much more than that!
