First Visit to the Dentist

Lexi had her first visit to the dentist today and she did awesome! I am so proud of her. She had no fears about going and was all ready to open her mouth and say "awww" when the dentist asked. Well, of course, we get there and they get her in the chair and as you can see, she is proud as a peacock. So as we are waiting for the dentist there is a little boy (younger than Alexis) in the chair in the next room and he screams and cries the entire 20 minutes of his exam. I was like oh, no. But she just said, "Mommy, baby crying . . . he's sad". And it didn't affect her at all. She did great with the dentist and opened her mouth and said "awww" just like she had practiced. The only part she didn't care for was the cleaning when they put that gritty stuff on and then she told the dentist it was "gross" and tried to wipe it out of her mouth.It was a pleasant experience and she was most excited about her new toothbrush and prize from the treasure chest!
