Halloween - My Day of Irony

The day began with my very first visit to the dentist. We had been reading stories and talking about dentists for about a week and even though I was well prepared, Mommy and Daddy both thought I'd chicken out at the last second. Boy, did I prove them wrong! I thought the whole thing was pretty darn cool!


The hygentist's name was Vicky and she started out by showing me how the equipment works. She sprayed some water into her hand and let me use "Mr. Thirsty" to suck it all up.


Next she put these cool glasses on me so that nothing would spray up into my eyes. I like how the chair moved up and down!


Here she is counting my teeth. I've got ten on the bottom and ten on the top. I'm told that makes a whopping twenty!


Mmmmmm, bubble gum flavored toothpaste!


When we were all done, the dentist came in and gave me a once-over. Everything looked A-Ok! (Although, he did say that I need to stop sucking my thumb. Rats, I was afraid of that.)


Check out my pearly whites!

Then to undo all the wonderful teeth-cleaning, it was time to trick-or-treat! I love my garbage can costume, but everyone seemed to think I was Oscar the Grouch from Sesame Street. We had a little trouble keeping the hat/lid in place too, but we managed! After we hit a few houses in the neighborhood, Mommy took me to the high school where they had a "trunk-or-treat". The people there were dishing out the goods from the well-decorated trunks of their cars and all we had to do walk past them all. It was definitely a good way to fill up the goodie bag in short order!
