Carter's First Dentist Appointment

Here is Carter at his first Dentist appointment. I scheduled my six month check up for two weeks before Campbell's arrival, which didn't quite work since she came early. So...Matt came along and joined in the fun. I knew I couldn't handle a curious 2 year old, a newborn and getting my teeth cleaned on my own quite yet. Carter was totally interested while I was in the chair, watching and taking it all in. Next it was his turn (keep in mind that all they planned to do was count his teeth and get him used to the idea of someone looking in his mouth). They said he could stay on my lap, so here is a picture of him checking out the cool light above the chair:

It all went down hill from this point. Patty, my sweet dental hygienist, was showing him the different tools while being pelted with "What's that mean?" (Carter's way of asking "what's that?"). She simply asked him if she could count his teeth. He looked straight at her and said "NO", climbed off my lap and was ready to go. So we did just that. No sense in scarring the poor boy for life quite yet!!
