The Dentist

Alexis got to go to the dentist for the first time on Thursday, last week. She was pretty excited to go and had a good time playing in the waiting room. I was a little worried how she would do when they were going to do her x-rays. But I had nothing to worry about. She did great! She was such a big girl sitting there with that heavy vest on and holding that thing in her mouth.



What she didn't like that got her kind of nervous was the chair as it reclined. And then the dentist tooth brush. She was not a fan of that at all. They were only able to clean her four bottom front teeth. So she was less than excited to sit in the seat to let the Dentist look at her teeth. But, He was able to count her teeth and to notice that her mouth will most likely be too small for her grown up teeth. And we all know what that means, braces. Well at least he let us know now so we can start saving up.

She did like holding the dentist's little mirror and at the end she got to pick a prize which she thought was pretty cool. It must not have been that bad, because later that day she was asking to go to the dentist again.

I love kids "firsts". She looks so BIG (not really big but grown up) on the chair getting her xrays.
