A Trip to the Dentist: An Adventure Captured On Daddy's Phone

Today was the dreaded day when the boys had to go to the dentist.  Rock has one prior experience with the dentist, and it didn't go well.
Ryker could somehow sense from Rock that this wasn't going to be as fun as Mommy pretended it would be.
The dentist's helper was very good and first started by helping the boys brush their teeth.  They did that just fine.
Ryker was a little concerned about the helper's intentions when he wanted to floss Ryker's three teeth.
But he was more than willing to relax in the fancy reclining chair.  Nothing bad can happen in a chair like this, right?
"See?  I'm a good boy with good teeth because I brush my teeth all the time.  So how about you put that pointy thing down?"
Luckily the pointy thing never came out and Dr. Jeff used the mirror to look inside Ryker's mouth instead.
Then Ryker went back to working on his toothbrush.
You could tell that Rock wasn't cool with everything, but he let them check his mouth and brush his teeth.
 He didn't even try to bite Jeff's fingers like we thought he would. 
 After his dentist appointment Ryker had to go see Dr. Dame for a checkup.  At one point he was laying naked on butcher paper.  He grabbed a tongue depressor to stab anyone who tried to get close with needles.  It took four people to subdue him enough to administer the inoculations.  And one of them got a pretty bad splinter.

  2. Sometimes I think the boys feel the drama from their parents...I don't see them looking concerned when someone else takes them to Jack's for doughnuts and strawberry milk.

  4. Well, it seems like everything went well, barring a few speed bumps. How are their teeth? In any case, here's to hoping that their next trip to the dentist is less dreadful. It takes time, but if the results are good, it becomes easier to get used to things.

  5. “Ryker could somehow sense from Rock that this wasn't going to be as fun as Mommy pretended it would be.”--- Hahaha! This made me laugh. You know, kids can sense a bit if they’re in “trouble” or something. Haha! Anyhow, judging by the pictures, it seemed that your boys did a great job on their dental appointment. Ryker really looked cool sitting on that reclining chair! :D
