1st Trip to the Dentist

Daniel had to go get his teeth cleaned today, so we decided that it was a good time to get Grant's teeth checked out as well. All 'the books' say to get a dentist appointment as soon as your child gets their first tooth. When I talked to actual dental professionals, they say thats not necessary. We just switched from toddler toothpaste to kid's so we thought it'd bee good timing for that reason as well.
To prepare our son, we talked about The Wonder Pets episode where the bird cleans the alligator's teeth and that the dentist is fun. He was excited to go, so no problems there. We arrived and Ms. Beth did a great job showing him everything. He sat still and did what he was told for his check up.
He got his goody bag when he was done, a toy out of the 'treasure chest', a sticker, and gum (from me).
As a reward (and a way to beat the heat), we went to a local movie theatre that has go-carts and an arcade. He was excited about the go-carts, which we have done before at this location. However, we get in line a realize that neither Daniel and I are wearing the proper footwear to drive the carts. I was expecting a fit from my red head, but he really didn't care. He ran in and was ready to play games!

Me and a hot little man on a bike, what a way to ride!

There is a small alternative to regular bowling at this place. Grant decided he wanted to bowl this way, which was ok since no one was there.
"Yeah! I knocked some down!"
He really would have spent his whole time trying to play this shooting game inside the 'jeep'
Interesting family portraits...haha. I'm pretty sure that how dirty a kid's shirt gets is an indicator of his/her day. Well here you go...time to break out the stain stick!
