First dental appointment
So today we went to the dentist for the first time!! I was SUPER nervous, as Elizabeth has never liked anyone messing with her mouth. But to my total surprise, she was GREAT!!! She sat in the chair and didn't wiggle. She opened her mouth big and wide. She let them do everything they asked. I was shocked. We got a ton of compliments, which of course every mommy loves (sorry, but it's the truth), and she got to pick out a two toys for being good. She got a little car and a finger puppet that looks like a princess (which is so Elizabeth as she is my rough and tumble princess). Of course, they let her pick out her own toothbrush (for some reason she chose Spongebob, which she doesn't watch because I won't let her), and gave her tooth paste & floss. I wish I got a picture of her, but alas, mommy wasn't that good. She was super proud of her teeth too. She smiled really big when we left. I asked if she liked the dentist, and she nodded yes. She definitely has one up on her mommy. :)

Awesome! Tell her to send some vibes our way! Anderson goes March 11th and I am already terrified! LOL Wish us luck!
This was a complete surprise to me. I was expecting the worst. But they were really great to explain everything to her. Plus they let her touch all the tools before they used them. I think that helped a lot. We'll be thinking of you come March. Best wishes. :)
Oh, that was awesome. Well, children are unpredictable sometimes. Maybe something made her decide to behave and cooperate that day. Maybe she got comfortable with your dentist. Well, she deserved her toys for being a good dental patient-princess that day. I'm happy for you!
