First Trip to the Dentist

Two weeks ago I made Ava a dentist appointment.
She has since been impatiently waiting for her big day.

Yesterday, the day finally arrived.
This is right outside the office of The Shoebox Pediatric Dentistry,
She says "I am soooo excited to go to the dentist!!"
(Yay me for not letting her know my true feelings about dentist visits!)

The office was really cool. It was packed full of kid friendly
toys & activities.

There was a little kitchen and a train set. Oh and movies
playing for all the little TV addicts.
(Yes I did drag Ava away from that movie so she could
show me all the toys!!)

When it was Ava's turn the dental hygienist came out and
offered her a sticker and asked her all the typical get-to-know-
you questions, how old are you?, when is your birthday?
She just had a very nice way with children. She got
Ava even more excited about her appointment.

Here is Ava getting her x-rays.

She happily followed all the directions.

Such a big girl.

They cleaned her teeth, she did great.
I wasn't really expecting them to do much of anything but they
did it all. Scraping, cleaning, brushing, all the fun stuff.

When all was said and done they filled a little bag with fun
stuff to take home, a new toothbrush, toothpaste, floss, a sand
timer, mouthwash, stickers and a little purse.

When we got outside Ava looks up at me and says
"Mommy I am sooo proud of myself!!"

Really how cute is that?
I couldn't be more proud either.
