Day 212

Jack had his first dentist (or "tennis" as he has said all day) appointment today. If you remember this post then you remember what a hard experience E's first dentist visit was.  So this time with Jack I was prepared....I had a purse loaded with the best bribes possible. I had chocolate m&ms (his fav), spider-man fruit snacks, and a few of his favorite toys hidden away but on standby for the predicted rejection of the big chair. Why I thought it was a good idea to bring chocolate and sugary fruit snacks to the DENTIST is beyond me.  Thankfully I did not need them...and will save them for another time-probably at Publix later today when he decides he needs  every balloon on display.  He did a fabulous job and charmed the scrubs off the sweet hygienist. We learned that he has a chipped front tooth (when did that happen?) and an overbite (start saving now) but no cavities. He got to put his name in the no cavity drawing for a Coldstone Creamery gift card (maybe they don't mind chocolate after all) and pick 2 things from the treasure box -he picked 2 microphones so he could "be Eddie and the Boss at home"  awwww....we've brainwashed him well.  Here's Jackson Ford cranking up the charm factor in the dentist's chair......
