Little Man's First Trip to the Dentist

So I have been slacking for a while now in taking Brayden to the dentist - I put him on my dental insurance in 2012 and completely forgot to take him the whole year, and now that 2013 was nearing an end, I figured I better take advantage of paying for this insurance :)

I was completely prepared for an all out melt down, crying, screaming, the works.  See, when anyone new invades Bryayden's space, he usually throws a fit of some sort.

Here we are in the waiting room - he's so happy because he doesn't really know what's coming next, ha ha.
(side note, my little baby looks so big here :( )

I was shocked when I got him to sit in the chair, at first he wasn't having it, but finally obliged..

He covered his eyes for a couple of minutes then finally opened them, but only to then clamp his mouth shut, ha ha.

Finally the hygienist pried got it open

That was it! We left there without every shedding any tears! The dentist gave him a ball when he was done and he hasn't let go of it since! My little boy is growing up!
