We Like the Dentist!

We finally had a very pleasant dental appointment for Leah! She cried during the past 2 visits, and I had to sit in the chair while she laid on me during the visits. This time, she was so independent! I did not have to hold her at all, she followed directions, and she greeted everyone with a smile! They took x-rays, checked her teeth, and gave her a cleaning. She told me she wanted to see the dentist more at the end of the visit! Woohoo! I'm so proud of her! 

First Dental Appointment

Unfortunately, Leah's week didn't end as well as it started. I booked her first dental appointment for this morning. When we arrived at the office, she kept saying "Bye! Bye!" to the receptionist. She was occupied by the toys in the waiting room, but continued to say "Byeee!" 

When we stepped inside the office, she immediately started to whine. I got on the chair, and she started saying "Noooo! Noooo!" Once the dentist approached her, it was full-blown crying. I think that actually might have helped the dentist since her mouth was wide open! They were really quick and even managed to get a cleaning. I was impressed with how calm and sweet they were despite her crying. She got her toy and balloon, and we were out.

Hooray! She survived her first trip to the dentist! 

Last but not least, thoughts and prayers go out to those in Boston.
