open wide

William went to the dentist for the first time a couple of weeks ago. It was so cute. I think everyone in my family, and almost everyone else I know in our area, goes to my cousin's husband, Dr. Welch. He's the best (professionally and personally) and I even worked in his office for a week in college when I was considering being a dental hygienist.

I was a little worried about William being scared about going to the dentist because he's pretty timid but he often surprises me. He's getting more confident in many different situations and this was no exception. I loved seeing his serious face when he listened to the dentist and the hygienists. He solemnly listened to their instructions and was very brave.

he really wasn't this scared - haha!

It dawned on me as his cute little body laid there on the (surfboard!) dental chair, that he is getting really big. It makes me so sad when I think about how fast this time is going by but he is getting to this really fun phase where we have laughing fits and he tells me made up stories about talking cars and superhero dogs. It's the best. So glad he's my boy.
