The Dentist

Mason-Kate joined the boys today for a dental check-up, her first ever! Thankfully, Barney has a show that features a trip to the dentist so for about a week now, that is all we have watched. We have practiced saying "ahhhh", we have placed our fingers in her mouth and of course we have brushed often more than the required two times a day. The boys went first and then happily played video games as they waited for MK to take a turn. While the boys were getting their teeth checked out, MK watched carefully as the little boy next to us screamed his little head off. He was pitiful and she just kept staring at him and then would look at us and say "awww, man".....there was a lot of concern on her face. When the boys had each gotten a clean bill of teeth, it was MK's turn to climb into the big chair. She was hesitant so I ended up getting into the chair with her. She rested her head on my chest and let out one "NOOOO!" to let us know of her disapproval of the lack of control she had in the situation. After that one scream, she allowed the dentist to do a full exam of her teeth. Good news....she has every tooth that a two year old should have including her molars.
