Dentist visit

So, all 4 of us went to the dentist yesterday. Good reports all around. This was Maelynn's first time and I was a little nervous, but then I realized that she doesn't know that everyone in the world would rather be ANYWHERE except the dentist chair, so if I don't make a big deal then she will think that it is fun. So, mama had to go first to show her how it is not a big deal - which was good for me because I had to be brave for her. (Emma was in another chair down the hall getting her teeth cleaned - she was so brave she went in by herself!!) Maelynn basically had her head stuck in my mouth trying to see everything and the hygenist even let her do "Mr. Thirsty" (the spit sucker). And then it was Maelynn's turn (she has 19 teeth because she has lost the front one already!) She did so good - Scott took a picture with his camera phone of her - I have never seen someone open their mouth so wide in my life. She had been practicing all yesterday morning to see how wide she could keep it and for how long. I was proud of both of them (and myself :)

Emma has to go today for her last round of shots (Hep B). For some reason, when she was born in Ottawa this shot was optional, but it is required here for school, so she has had to have 3 of them and today is the last day. So, pray for her today around 1:45. Scott is taking her today (the first shot was a complete melt-down, 2nd got better, but still screamy - today will be better!!) And then she is so proud that then she "will not need another shot until I'm a teenager and teenagers are TOUGH!" Should I tell her that her daddy wants to cry everytime he thinks of a needle and her mom has to imagine herself on a deserted tropical island as the needle comes closer?!?

Well, I'm off to start my day - have a good one everybody!
