First off, this is just a silly picture of Josh. He took the hat off his very warm snow jacket, had his flip-flops by the door, and tried to convince me he was ready for school on a snow day! 5yr old crack me up.
I had to get over my "bad mom" self-talk with this one. He just had two visits this last week to the dentist because of my neglect over the past 6 months, he tried to be as brave as he could.
This picture shows his true concern over his situation. It just broke my heart. I am going to be on top of his oral health from now on. And after this whole ordeal, I think he is going to be as well.
One thing I am grateful for, his dentist is his best buddy, Josh N.'s dad, as well as his soccer coach, and an overall nice and dynamic guy Josh gets to see every sunday at church. That really helped a lot with minimizing his fear of dentists.

I always liked my dentist. It may have had something to do with the fact that he had a treasure chest full of toys.
You know, I don't think kids really comprehend "cold" and "hot". They just want to play and have fun!
poor josh, he looks so vulnerable in that chair with his palms facing upward.
