Alex's first dentist appt

Alex was lucky enough to get his first dentist appt on his birthday. He should have had it at 3 but we just never got around to it. I am so proud of him. He sat perfectly still in the chair, opened his mouth wide when asked and did wonderfully. I have been pumping him up to see the dentist for the last 1-2 weeks, so maybe that helped. I am just thankful he wasn't like the other 4 yr old little girl that screamed the entire time.

On to the teeth issue--according to the dentist his teeth look great, we are doing a good job brushing and should start flossing them once a day. No cavities or any other issues seen. His two front bottom teeth are still a bit crooked-but he says that shouldn't be a problem when the permanent teeth start coming in. He did say that we may have to worry about ovrcrowding later on, but too hard to tell if it will be an issue or not.
Alex walked out of there very happy and proud of himself, with 3 stickers, a book, and a car :)
