We took the Littles to the dentist this week for the very first time. Maddie was SO excited to go it was all she talked about all morning. (I was thankful I hadn’t told her until the morning of the appointment that we were going…)
She practically bounded back to the room with the dental hygienist and was eager to hop in the chair when we got there. Then as the lady was explaining every tool and what she was going to do, Maddie listened with eager expectation–all with her mouth wide open, ready for them to see her fabulous teeth. It was so hilarious. At one point, I did tell her she could close her mouth until it was time.
Levi watched with much less interest. Although he was curious about the chair. When it was his turn he was actually on the chair, he was not so sure how he felt about it… it was quite amusing. He did end up doing better than Tim or I expected. There were no tears, no screaming and they were able to clean all of his front teeth. He wasn’t loving the vibration of the brush tool, so he wouldn’t let them do the back, but overall (for a 2.5 year old) I thought that was a success.
Whew! Another item off my list!
You are such a great mom!!! And I love the picture of Levi – that is precious!
