Dentist Visit

The girls went in for their semi-annual checkup today. Addison was excited about going to the dentist until we walked into the office and she realized what the dentist was. The whole time we were in the waiting area she was telling me that she wanted to go bye bye. This is after saying "Yay! Dentist!" in the car when we pulled into the parking lot. She did pretty well, though. Regan, as usual, was a very big girl and good big sister example. She got x-rays for the first time and the dentist showed her her grown up teeth that are in her gums. She also got her teeth scraped and polished. She was most excited about getting a new princess toothbrush. Addison let them put the polisher on her teeth (without flouride). They said they just wanted to get her used to it, since she had watched Regan do it. That was sitting up and she was fine with that. They put it on her finger first to show her it wouldn't hurt. She even let them brush her teeth. But then I layed her down for them to count her teeth and check for cavities and she didn't like that so much. However, I think it was better that she cried because then her mouth was open wide for them to really see in there. Both girls got a clean bill of health.
