Big Lessons From Little Faces
Three trips in 12 months to the jacked-out kids’ dentistry place where walls are covered in animal murals and child-friendly assistants dispense toys, and my little guy finally acquiesced. His petite face was furrowed and squished with anxiety as he opened wide. A bump of nervous energy on a long blue chair, his every-girl-would-be-jealous eyelashes held back the cascade forming behind them, and along with a little toothpaste and water, he swallowed his fear.
I wish I had brought a camera so I could show you how brilliantly his eyes shone and his smile beamed with accomplishment when after a thorough cleaning, he jumped from his chair, threw his arms around me and proclaimed himself braver than a superhero.
Every day—every single day—he inspires me.
Tricia, the boy is just too cute. Congrats to him. He is a superhero!

Aw, so cute. You know how my sister got her 5 year old daughter to cooperate with the dentist? She has a friend with fake teeth up front for some reason or another. They are the kind he can pop in and out. He popped them out in Emma’s presence and said he wished he’d gone to the dentist more. Of course, that had nothing to do with why he no longer had his teeth. Emma didn’t know that though. She’s been big on the dentist, brushing and flossing ever since.
Superhero for sure! He’s adorable!

Gosh, he’s too cute! My hero.
Just so you know, I somehow deleted one of your comments at my place. Not on purpose. Please forgive me Tricia, for I know not what I have done. *wink* But really, I hit delete instead of edit and the damn thing worked for once. grrrrrr……
