First trip to the Dentist!

We finally made it to Maddie's first dentist appt. She did so great! At first she was very uneasy and started crying when the dentist came in. So, we decided to have Mommy go first (I had an appt as well). Since I was the example I had to have best behavior-and I'm not the world's biggest fan of dental visits. After Mom, Maddie climbed right up and let the dental hygienist examine her, and clean her teeth. She was still a little gunshy of the dentist himself. Maddie and I both had great check-ups with no cavities! And, after Maddie had endeared herself to the entire staff, she got a purple, sparkly toothbrush, notebook, princess floss, and five stickers for being so brave. I don't remember ever getting that much loot at the dentist!



This was her getting her teeth cleaned, she is really not scared even though the picture looks like she is pretty uneasy.

This is the spit sucker (sorry I don't know the correct term). She thought this was hilarious!
