Sally's Trip to the Dentist

Yesterday was Sally's 3 year dentist appointment here in Castle Rock.

How did it go?

I've never seen anyone have so much fun at the dentist.

They cleaned her teeth, gave us some tips about discouraging the nighttime thumbsucking (although she -- the dentist -- said there's nothing to worry about until she turns 5, but it's good to start now).

She got her teeth cleaned, had an exam, got a lipstick (mini-chapstick) and 2 toys. She's supposed to come back in 6 months, and we're supposed to start flossing her 3x a week.

I was so impressed by the whole operation -- super-nice receptionist, greeted by name, wonderful dentist, very nice hygienist, beautiful facility, and only about 5 mins from our house. I'm switching to this dentist -- made myself an appointment for May (since I just had my teeth cleaned last month).

Sally was so great -- she had a wonderful time and talked about it all day.

NExt week, there's no school (spring break) so we'll be looking for fun things to do together.

Also -- we're watching teh houses on either side of us go up, adn teaching sally what it takes to build a house.

And Sydney is starting to LAUGH -- ahhhh, the sweetest sound in the world.

And she talks up a storm -- reminds me of Aunt Theresa because she is so L O U D !
