Dentist

Yesterday, I had an appointment to get my teeth cleaned.... and Grace had an unexpected day off school because of a water pipe bursting, so I took her in with me for her very first visit with the dentist. She did so well! She sat and watched while Dr. Sparkman cleaned my teeth. (Tiffany, Elaine and Charmaine were all out and are going to DIE when they find out I was in with both girls and we're moving!!! This is only relevant to the one blog reader who actually knows these guys...)

Anywho, Dr. Sparkman has this cool camera he uses to look at my teeth on a flat screen, so he was showing Grace my teeth, and then asked if she wanted to see her teeth on TV. Bingo. She jumped up into my lap and let him explore away. Everything looks great. No cavities, and all 4 molars are working there way in. During xrays, Dr. Sparkman lured Grace away with some evil stickers. She had two huge stickers on each arm and one on her shirt. The stickers are evil because whoever made them should sell their secret adhesive recipe to band aid makers. Those suckers will not come off without a fight. Grace still has one on because the others hurt so bad coming off they left marks!!

After my xrays, Dr. Sparkman asked if Grace wanted her teeth cleaned too. She reluctantly agreed, and sat in my lap as he showed her the tickly brush. She opened wide, and let him tickle almost all her teeth. If her tongue hadn't been in the way, he probably would have gotten all of them.

As a reward, she got a new toothbrush and TWO tubes of toothpaste. She was happy as a clam and so proud! Mommy, too. I took her to Chikfila on our way home, and THAT is a story for another day, and probably not cyber space. :)
