Doctor Visits

One day this week, mommy showed Nick picture schedules. Mommy told Nick that the next day he had three doctor visits.

The first visit we went to see the dentist. Nick sat in the big chair and a lady put a bib over his shirt. She asked Nick if he wanted to play with sunglasses, so Nick put them on.

Then the dentist came in and he pressed a button on the floor and the chair became a bed. Then he cleaned and examined Nick's teeth.

Next we went to another doctor, he checked Nick's blood pressure and heartbeat.

Finally we went to the last doctor, she was the eye doctor. Nick looked at all the equipment in the room, it looked big and scary. Nick did a great job reading letters on the wall.

Then we were all done with doctors. Mommy told Nick he could choose where we went next. Nick said he wanted to go to the sprinkler park, so that's what we did.

Then we came home and had dinner together in the yard. Nick had a very happy face!

Mommy told Nick, "I am so proud of you, what a great job you did today with all those doctor visits!"

The Dentist Visit

On Friday night, mommy told Nick that there was no AHRC on Saturday. Instead, we would go to the dentist.

A dentist is a doctor that looks at teeth. Mommy didn't know if Nick remembered the dentist, and she didn't want Nick to be afraid, so we looked at movies on YouTube. There were lots of movies of kids getting their teeth cleaned at the dentist. Some of the kids were scared but they were brave and were okay. Mommy said Nick would be brave too.

On Saturday we went in the car to the dentist building. Nick did good sitting in the chairs waiting for his turn.


Then it was Nick's turn and we went into the little blue room. Nick sat down in the chair and waited. The dentist came into the room and Nick said "hi."

Then the dentist pushed the chair back, as if Nick was lying in a bed. Nick had to open his mouth so the dentist could look at his teeth and check them, then he cleaned Nick's teeth with strawberry toothpaste.

Nick was so brave, just like the kids on YouTube. The dentist was able to do all his work and then he told mommy that Nick had no cavities and his teeth are clean and healthy.

Mommy was so proud of Nick! When we got back to the car mommy said "You were so brave, what a good job! Where would you like to go to celebrate?" Nick wrote down Barnes and Noble Booksellers, so that's where we went. Nick bought a big cookie and paid for it with money. Then we sat down together at a table.

Tonight Nick will use his new blue and white toothbrush that the dentist gave him.
