Daniel's First Trip To The Dentist!

Hi loved ones! Just a quick update tonight since time is short, but all is going great with my new job! People have been so welcoming and the work is very interesting. An unexpected blessing is that several people like to get together for lunch everyday so I have been enjoying that too!

We have all been battling colds recently and Daniel had a very high fever last night, but he is doing better today. We pray that we will get through this winter season without too many more illnesses.

Another first for Daniel happened last week:  he had his first ever dentist appointment (age 2 and 10 months) and we are so relieved that it went very well! Though it has been getting easier, it has generally not been easy for us to brush Daniel's teeth. And we were getting concerned with some tartar building up and so decided to take him to a paediatric dentist. They were fantastic! They made him feel very comfortable, Daniel fully cooperated with them, and the dentist was able to clean his teeth and let us know that his teeth are healthy and that there are no cavities - what a relief!

Jonny took Daniel and took some photos with his mobile phone -- he forgot the camera. So though the photos aren't great, you can get a general feel of how it all went!

This is the waiting area - with lots of toys and Daniel loved it!

And then, look how comfortable he was in the dental chair!

We were so proud of him and so relieved it went well! From now on, he will go every 6 months to get his teeth cleaned and checked.
