Dentist

I was too chicken to take pictures of Em's (almost) first dentist appointment yesterday. I say almost because the Navy required her to have a dental exam as part of our "overseas screening" package before we moved to Japan when she was all of 3 months old. I guess I was the only one who thought that was a bit nuts since she had no teeth but hey.

Anyhoo. Pictures wouldn't have done it justice, it required video. You would have thought she worked there. Not only did she hop right up into the chair and proceed to talk the ear off the dentist she actually told him in the middle of polishing her teeth that she "didn't want to do that anymore - just do the water squirting part." She also very kindly helped him examine Olivia and her x-rays, declared her cavity free and gave her a sticker! That didn't go over so well with big sister.

I think we may have a dentist in the making. Emma will have to get busy making pink, glitter scrubs!

Did you really expect anything less from smallish girl?

Way to go Dr. Emily! Could you give Lily some pointers...her next visit to the dentist is in two weeks.
