First Trip To The Dentist

Happy Hump Day!
As you know Sophie Clare turned 3 a couple of weeks ago. I knew that the dentist was in our near future, and I knew I wanted a  "kid" friendly place.  There are not a lot to choose from in our area so I chose one that a friend uses and LOVES. It is about 45 Min's away, but has lots to do  after the dentist! :-)  You know like Target, TJ MAXX, Michael's.........hehe
I went ahead and made the appointment about a month ago. We talked about it a lot. We watched Caillou going to the Dr and dentist. We watched The Bernstein Bears go to the dentist. We played dentist and even drilled on her teeth.  We got there and the waiting room is super cute with a  little outdoor jungle gym. Very kid friendly.  We were in the restroom when they called us back so when we came out they were ready for us. Sophie Clare was not ready at all. She latched on and was not letting go. The hygienist does not give you anytime to think...........She told me it would take about 3 min to do what she needed. So, Sophie Clare sat in my lap and laid her head down in the hygienist lap. I held her hands because she wanted to cover her face. She cried but it was not a kicking and fighting cry...........it was just a scared cry. I even shed a tear. I just felt sorry for. The Dr what super sweet and said her teeth looked great! They gave her a token to buy a toy.  
We went to Target and  then to McDonald's to get her and ice cream for being a good girl.
They also gave her a t-shirt for being a first time patient and she LOVED it!!


Sophie Clare- Go back dentist?
Mom- Do you want to go back to the dentist?
Sophie Clare- One day, not right now
