The dentist

Xan saw the dentist for the first time on Tuesday.

Did you like the dentist?
No.
Do you want to go back?
Yeah!
But I thought you didn't like it.
I DO like it.
What did you like about it?
I liked that toy car that I rode on.
Did you like anything else?
I liked the front shovel.
Was the dentist nice?
Nooo. (total lie - he was super nice and didn't push Xan too much to look inside his mouth. He just wanted him to feel comfortable and have a positive first visit.)

As you can tell, he loved the playroom full of toys and arcade games, but was not to keen at a stranger looking in his mouth. He let me look in while the dentist looked over my shoulder, but he just got a very brief glimpse. He said there were no big concerns, he'd call this a "non-visit" and a get to know you, wouldn't bill us, and we'd try again in six months.
