Joshua's first trip to the dentist

While we were home over Christmas, we got to visit Augusta's favorite children's dentist, Dr. Andy Chandler, who just happens to be my dad. This was Caleb's second visit and it went much like the first, a little fearful crying, but not that bad. I expected much worse from Joshua, who is not one for people taking him out of his Mama's arms.
But I should have known, since Joshua loves brushing his teeth so much that he made up his own sign for it, that he'd love the dentist. Here's a pic of Joshua asking Dad for a toothbrush using his sign. He just sat there like a little doll in Dad's lap while Dad looked around in his mouth. Low and behold, the drooler has 6 teeth coming in at once. That would explain the constant leaking coming from his mouth. The boy goes through several shirts and bibs a day, and that's not even counting the messy ones from mealtime.
Dad was great with Joshua, of course, it is his job. But my favorite part was Joshua trying on Dad's coolio glasses.I also loved that Kevin was there to share in this first. He's been able to see a lot of Joshua's firsts, actually. Praise God for these well-timed 6 months he's had close to home.

After Caleb's turn it was time to go, but when I told Joshua, "Let's Go!" He turned away from me with a snarl and continued playing with the x-ray machine in the corner. He actually cried when we carried him out of there. What a funny boy.
