Ella's First Trip to the Dentist

It was time for Ella's first trip to the dentist. Abby prepped Ella the night before, so when Ella arrived at the office the next morning she was totally pumped up for the visit. Not everyone's big sister loves the dentist, but Ella's does! So, Ella showed up fully loaded with information. She knew what toys were fun in the waiting room and that the dental hygienist always wears a cookie monster shirt. She knew that she should ask for birthday cake flavored toothpaste during her cleaning and she knew to pick out the good stuff from the prize bin at the end. Most importantly, she was excited about it.

first red cup of the season! The holidays are here!

The hygienist kept saying she couldn't believe how Ella was acting like a five year old. They couldn't believe she was so willing to sit there by herself and have her teeth checked out! She did a great job and proudly left the office like a big girl carrying her bag of goodies.



We celebrated with a special trip to the library afterward before we had to pick Abby up from school.

 

Later that week, Abby had her appointment. Both girls celebrated their dentist week by getting the privilege of taking their picture with the giant toothbrush and mirror. Success!
