24

Visit #2 to the dentist was a success! No cavities, and we learned his
six-year molars have already come in, bringing his total tooth count
to 24.

AJ wasn't too wild about the polishing process- it sounded too much
like a drill. Ever since watching the dentist scene in Finding Nemo,
he's terrified of drills. He wasn't too thrilled with the fluoride
process either, until I reminded him it was like wearing his hockey
mouth guard.

On the plus side, he loved the reclining chair and the Spiderman
sunglasses, and the thing that sucked liquid out of his mouth was just
the coolest thing to play with.

Glad he enjoyed it, because we get to do it all again in six months.
