My little tooth fairy
|
Well...our dentist visit was a great success! Emeline did great, she was sooo excited. We have an Elmo video that has a section about a little boy going to the dentist and she was sure it was going to be exactly like that. When we got there and were walking up to the door she said "oh they do, they do have one!" and I said "what do they have?" and she said "they have stairs!". How funny is that, she was expecting to go up stairs because of the video, we also had to read in the waiting room (luckily they had a Highlights magazine). Then she got to sit in the chair that goes up and down. Everyone was very impressed with her. The dentist asked her how old she was and she held up two fingers. He said "she's two?" so I said "Emeline, when is your birthday?" She held up her little finger by her face and wagged it a little and said "at the end of March". I thought the dentist was going to fall off his chair! She did very well while he checked her teeth and then she said she wanted "the pink stuff" (from the video), luckily the dentist had a pink polisher with blue paste. He was done with her in less than 10 minutes and when he was done he said "she is great, I don't want to leave". So then he checked Curious George's teeth for her (because of course he had to come to the dentist with us you know). Then they took xrays of her teeth and said she did really well and that most kids wiggle and jiggle or move their tounges around but her pictures came out well (they are going to send her a photo copy of her xrays). Then she got a goodie bag with a new toothbrush and some wild animal dental flossers and she got to pick a toy out of the toy trunk. Then we waited until my friend Steve came and he took her to McDonalds for lunch while I had my appointment. She was so excited to be going on a date with Uncle Stevie...she even got an ice cream cone, lucky (messy) girl! After that we went to visit our friend Dorothy, she is an elderly lady from our church in Santa Cruz and she was very sad when we moved. We took her and her dog for a walk and then had a tea party with her before coming back home. Emeline was quite anxious to show daddy her sparkly teeth. She was very proud of herself (as well she should be). Today we had gymnastics and our daddy was able to go with us, this was the first class he has been able to come to so she was excited about that too. He was very proud of her, she does really well! It has been a busy week and it is only Tuesday morning!! |
