Henry: 1st Trip to the Dentist!

Henry has his first dentist appointment yesterday and all went well!  I met Mike & the boys at the dentist's office, arriving a little past the time of the appointment thinking it would be similar to Ralph's first appointment where Ralph watched Mike get his teeth cleaned and helped the hygienist use some of the tools then after Mike was done Ralph had his appointment.  Henry's first appointment was not quite the same.  I arrived and started filling out the paperwork then Mike pops his head out and tells me Henry is already back in the chair and helped me find him.  He already had the xrays done and  teeth cleaned.  Dr. Lacey came in after I arrived.  We found out Henry is missing one of his upper lateral teeth (right, I think).  Missing, as in it does not exist.  Dr. Lacey says this is hereditary which Henry can thank me for though I'm just missing an adult tooth, I did have the baby tooth.  Some of Henry's 2nd year molars are still breaking through.
I'm not sure why but Henry seems like he has grown into a "big boy" the last few days.  I think it has something to do with wearing shorts and giving the perception of longer legs, not sure.
