Elli's first dentist appointment

Yummy. Bubblegum toothpaste. She did such a good job holding her little mouth open wide.
She didn't even flinch when the hygenist took out the sharp tools. She was very curious about if they hurt me when it was my turn, but when it was her turn, she was a brave girl.
That smile was quite a surprise to me. She had two fits of crying at home saying she was NOT going to get her teeth cleaned.
After the dentist checked out Elli's teeth she started asking for gum and mints. She ate four mints stuffing them into her mouth. The dentist said, "Be careful not to hurt your teeth." I told him they were sugarless, and then told Elli to stop asking for gum in front of the dentist. We all laughed at that:)
Since Elli did such a good job, I took her through Sonic for lunch. She enjoyed chicken nuggets, fries and a chocolate peanut butter milk shake. She asked if she gets one after every trip to the dentist:) I was very proud of her for overcoming her fears!

I'm going to the dentist Monday. Do I get a chocolate PB milkshake from Sonic afterwards too?

I can't get over how cute those pictures are of Elli's little mouth open wide for the dentist! Can she get any cuter???
