First

Yesterday Ellis went to the dentist for the first time. Can I tell you how much I have been dreading this? Putting it off until the very last minute? It takes two of us to pin him down for a haircut; I could only imagine the horror of the first dentist visit. But, to my utter surprise, Ellis was PERFECT!!! No fussing, no big weepy eyes, no squirming. He just hopped right up there and did exactly what he was supposed to do!

Today marks his First Day of Preschool. He is an official preschooler. There's more to write on that. He's in a new classroom with new teachers, though many of the same students. He hopped on the bus (really, a van) with no problem this morning. I wasn't sure what to expect. And off he goes!

First day of school!

Wow, look at you Supermom! I still haven't taken my kids, but I brush their teeth like a fiend.

diber:

Well, I probably would've waited longer, but he had required dental forms for school.

mary kathryn:

Wow. Isn't it AMAZING how fast they grow up. It seems like yesterday he was a baby! We are a dentist-loving family. I always liked going to the dentist.

Yay Ellis!!! On both fronts: dentist and school! Hannah goes to the dentist for the second time next month. The first time she wouldn't even open her mouth. We might use Ellis for inspiration. :)

Sarah R.:

i think it is so funny how sometimes when we dread things the most as parents our kids surprise us and come through with shining colors. god's special blessing i am sure!

Ed:

Hahaha. The face he is making when the Dentist has the tool in his mouth is priceless.
