Lizzy loves that she is big enough to go to the dentist. I took her once when she was 3-years-old for her first check-up. Ever since she turned 4, 8 months ago, she has been begging to go back because "Big girls get to go to the dentist."
I finally remembered to make the phone call. Lizzy thought it seemed like forever as she waited for the day of her appointment to come. As we were driving to the dentist's office, Lizzy said to Ben, "I'm sorry Ben. You are just not old enough to go to the dentist. When you get bigger you'll get to go too."
The Hygienist cleaned her teeth and took x-rays. We got to see that she has a couple of adult teeth that are getting ready to push her baby teeth out of the way! She was so excited to hear about that! The Hygienist gave Lizzy the sun glasses which she kept on throughout the rest of the exam. The dentist said her teeth look great and to keep up the good work. Last night Lizzy brushed her teeth so many times and so hard that she bent the bristles of her new toothbrush. (We'll work on that. I'd rather she err on the side of brushing too much than not enough)
