Jacob's first dentist appt.

This morning Jacob went to the dentist for the first time. For those who don't know he is 2 1/2. My friend Lauren watched Micah so I could just focus on Jacob. Micah took the time to tell Jacob what it would be like and the dentist was just going to "tickle his teeth"!

Jacob did not seem worried but was pretty conerned about getting a sticker. When they called his name for his check-up the first thing he said was "I get my sticker". He was a little unsure of the chair but got in pretty quickly. They were very good with him. He is too young for x-rays so all they did was check his teeth, clean them and then put a little flouride on them.

While we were waiting for the actual dentist he started to suck his thumb. So when she walked in she said "He sucks his thumb, yah?" She said of course if he sucks it until he is like 6 then we need to do something about it because it will mess up his teeth, but I am not totally convinced. I have heard two different theories 1) it is genetics that determine your teeth 2) thumb sucking will mess up your teeth. Does anyone have any experience or advice for us?

In the afternoon we went to a BBQ for a guy who works for Darrick that re-enlisted. It was nice and we had a good time!

Yesterday we did not write because we got home late from Bible Study. We really love this church and the people, we just seem to click so easily with some of them. We appreciate the Bible Study because everyone is so into studying the Word and have so many ideas and thoughts. The first week we were so surprised when almost everyone pulled out the notes they had taken from the sermon and were ready to comment on what they thought. It really challenged us! God is so good!
