Are my teeth still shiny?

Louis had his first dentist appointment this week.  I called on Wednesday and we got in right away on Thursday morning...I wasn't expecting such a fast turnaround!  So Wednesday night we briefed Louis on what would happen at the dentist and promised him if he did a great job, we would go to Target and get something "superhero".
He was a little nervous going in, but he soon was very comfortable and eager to go back for his checkup.  I was a little nervous his shyness would kick in, but man he did great.  We grinned the whole time in the chair and didn't mind at all that I was sitting six feet away.  He listened very well and did everything they asked.  The clinic it self was great in explaining all their tools to Louis and letting him feel them ahead of time.  While at the dentist he got a new toothbrush, floss, a little toy and a whole lot of confidence.  I left with an amazing amount of pride over how big my little boy has become.  I also realized in that moment, that nothing else in my life gives me the same feeling that my children do in moments like this.

As we left for Target, he was beaming.  He kept talking about how the polisher tickeled his teeth but how we liked the grape stuff (the flouride) best.  That night after school he talked to Brad all about it and he told Brad and I both separately that he should go back to the dentist again soon.  As he was getting ready for bed that night he stopped and asked me one thing..."Mommy, are my teeth still shiny?"

Oh, and his Target prize...see below.
