This was not our typical school unit in that we did not do our normal tracing, cutting, counting, etc. type learning. We did a lot of reading, talking and explaining to Sawyer about what a Dentist does and how to properly take care of our teeth. We knew he had a Dentist appointment arriving so we wanted to make sure he knew exactly what was going to happen when he got there. Needless to say - it worked!!! Sawyer did an incredible job at the Dentist; we were very proud of him. When he came home he told Daddy "I didn't like it just a little bit" then showing how little with his thumb and index finger; it was really little. Daddy asked him why and he explained that he didn't like the part where they went in between his teeth. I don't know if this is when they used the pick tool or the floss.
Sawyer is "brushing" the yellow teeth to make them white.
Sawyer's Hygienist - Valinda. She was so nice and explained to Sawyer what she was going to do before she did anything and even let him touch every tool she used!
Sawyer and Dentist Seubert, normally we have Curran but he was not in that day. Dentist Seubert did tell us that Sawyer needs to come back though and get two little holes fixed - yikes!
