Jackson's first visit to the Dentist.

Today was the first time Jackson went to the dentist; both he and I got our teeth cleaned. Jackson did very, very well...which is not too surprising considering the following circumstances...
1) He was able to play with a bunch of new toys in their very nice play room.
2) Mom acted as his 'human dentist chair' while he was getting his teeth cleaned (he laid on his back on me while I was laying in the dentist chair).
3) The dental hygienist was a friendly, cheerful lady who gave him "rides" on the chair and let him wear sunglasses to keep the bright lights from bothering his eyes.
4) We had 'Dora the Explorer' (one of his new favorite shows) on the ceiling TV.
5) He was able to pick out, smell, and taste test the toothpaste cleaning gels prior to having them used on him.
6) After his cleaning, Jackson was given the usual -new toothbrush, floss, toothpaste gift, along with a handful of stickers and two other toys of his choice. Plus, a GC for a free kid's meal at Outback Steakhouse.
7) Also after the cleaning, he got his picture taken with the "good behavior" trophy and then put it on the wall of fame for kids.
8) And, of course, I can't forget to mention the fact that Jackson got to visit with his Grandpa Bob while I was getting my teeth cleaned (grandpa Bob met us at the dentist office to help out with Jessica).

So, after a visit like that wouldn't you think highly of the dentist? Well, it sure worked for Jackson. He had a great time, as illustrated by the following pictures...
