6 Months Later He Gets In Dentist Chair...

In the midst of cheer competitions, I've forgotten to blog about normal day to day activities...

Six months ago, Cooper had his first appointment at the dentist...he would have no part of it...would not get in the chair, would not let the dentist look at his teeth with me holding him, nothing.  Well, it is amazing what six months can do.  Anna Lauren went first and then big boy climbed right in the big chair!


You can tell he is a little unsure and nervous...but...he did it!



Being so BIG and BRAVE...



Both of my kids love this part...Ms. Missy squirts water in their mouth and they suck it out...she lets them hold the "sucker" which they think is so fun for some reason.


He's so proud of himself!

We did find out he has a tongue thrust or a reverse swallow pattern. When he swallows his tongue pushes against his front teeth, which is why they look like he still sucks a pacifier when he has not since he was around 16 months old.  We've got to get him evaluated and see what the next step is to work on correcting the issue.  You know...always something...but...it could for sure be something much worse...this is fixable!
