dentist

I took Av to the dentist last week. It was supposed to be just a check up for her (mine was scheduled for the next week while she was at school) but they had time to fit me in too and asked if I wanted to. At first I panicked, what would Av do that whole time, would she be good, I had not prepared for this. I thought it would be nice to not come back though and they promised me they had books and toys to keep her busy. She went first. This was her second time at the dentist. The first time the dentist (our friend and neighbor) kind of cleaned her teeth, counted them and showed her all the stuff. Av was very reserved again this time but let the dentist count her teeth, clean them, check them for cavities and put fluoride on them! It was pretty much a real dental check up. She did so well. I was so proud of her. Then it was my turn. I spent an hour in that chair and Av was a good as gold. I just could not believe it. She watched a little, read some books, played with her bag they gave her and just sat quietly. She was just too good. It made my heart burst with pride. It’s so nice when your little one grows up to the point where you can take them to stuff like that a not sit on the edge of your chair the whole time wondering when they are going to lose it. I made us an appointment in 6 months to come back and do it the same way. We have a prenatal checkup this week. She is excited to hear the baby’s heart beat. It will be a long time before we bring the terror with us though!!!
