My big girl!
Olivia and her dentist
Olivia chose two pinwheels from the goodie trunk.Today, we took Liv to the dentist for the first time. She has been with me a few times, but this was actually her turn. Anyone who knows me well, knows about my dental fears, so this was bigger for me than it was for her. I spent a lot of time finding a place that would allow me to go back with her. Apparently, the two pediatric dentists in town do not "allow" parents to go back with children who are 3 and older. Excuse me, but sorry, I will be with my three year old wherever she goes because that is my job! I go with her to the doctor, to the store, to the library, to the park, I guess I'm funny that way.
I finally found a clinic that takes our insurance and allowed us to go as a family. I was so ready to fight to protect Olivia against any trauma that I think Rob joined us to make sure I didn't try to fight anyone! It turned out to be easy, fun and a great experience. The dentist was a young, pretty lady that was kind and sweet to Olivia. The assistant turned out to be one of my patients that I took care of during her pregnancy. They counted her teeth, checked for cavities and I'm proud to say, she is cavity free and brushing well! They couldn't take xrays yet because they didn't fit in her tiny mouth. Not surprising, since my mouth is so small!
Olivia did great, and can't wait to return in six months!

Glad things went well at the Dentist. You did a lot of blogging since the last time I was here! Good times!!
I totally agree with your comment about going back with her. We went to Turnbull once for Kaleb's surgery, but I went with him. Otherwise, they didn't want me back there. I haven't been back since. We now see someone else too!! Good Mom!!
I always go with Payton. I didn't know there was any other way. Of course a parent should go with! I'm glad it was a good time for her. Payton LOVES the dentist and so do I. It's my little get away for an hour. Sad, I know...
:) I LOVE the updates!!
