We took our 3 year old daughter to the dentist for the first time a few days ago. She was fine when we got there. She sat at their little table and slowly worked up the courage to approach the other kids and play with the toys. We took her to a pediatric dentist so all the patients were kids. The waiting room was complete chaos. After 20 minutes of waiting they called us back. She went with me until we got to the door then she fell on the floor and refused to go. Daddy had to pick her up and take her back. Daddy held her while they checked her teeth. The dentist was great. He said as long as everything looked good that he would just count her teeth. It took all of about one minute. But you would think she was getting shots or something. She cried and fought until they brought her in a new toothbrush. Then she got to pick out a prize and a sticker. Let's hope the next visit will be a little less dramatic for her. I tried to get her to smile big while holding up her new toothbrush but this is what I got.

Oh I hear ya! Malachi is a perfect kid for the dentist. Benjamin, you may as well be stabing him with needles for all he hollers! Hopefully it will get better.
