Cooper's Big Day

Jeremy and I took Cooper on a special day while Izzy went to play with her friends at daycare.  He thought it was pretty cool having a day all to himself.

Cooper had his first dentist visit with our favorite hygienist, Patti, in late August.  He talked a big game all the way until we got there... and then he got nervous. 

Patti won him over with a big spread of toothbrushes for him to choose his own from, his OWN toothpaste, and his OWN flossy-floss.  He let her count his 20 teeth, but he was really scared about riding in the chair.  Once Daddy sat down, though, Cooper took a seat on his lap and opened wide. 

Patti was able to clean a grand total of ONE tooth.  Yes, one.  She polished it, and Cooper said, "Okay, mom, I think that's enough now." 

He left smiling, which Patti counts as a success.  Since his visit, he tells everyone, "I LOVE going to the dentist."  And, "Next time, Patti's going to clean ALL twenty of my teeth."

The day continued with lunch at Cooper's favorite place, Pizza Ranch.  He ate to his little belly's content.

To finish off the morning, we went to Target, where Cooper got to spend his $8 Fair winnings on an item of his choice.  After much deliberation, he picked a helicopter, and it still is a go-to toy in the car.

What a fun way to spend a day with our big boy :)
