A trip to the Dentist





Sophie's fist visit to the dentist. She was very excited and we had spent some time leading up to her appointment telling her what would happen and that she would go on this very special chair. So she marched into the dentist with much confidence and bravado, hops herself onto the chair, tells the dentist her name and starts to ask what every thing is (and I mean EVERYTHING). Well this is a girl that has no fear and loves all the rides at theme parks, but when that dentist chair started moving she was off it like a shot!
The dentist was incredibly patient, showing Sophie the pedal that she uses to move the chair up and down, so with a little reluctance she hopped back. The examination proceeded well with Sophie getting a gold star for her teeth cleaning (we didn't bother to share the challenge we have and the bribes we have often used to ensure these teeth are cleaned!) She was rewarded with a balloon and bracelet, then asked the dentist if she had any lollies!
