Pearly Whites

Rachel had her second annual trip to the dentist on Thursday, and I'm proud to say, she did great!

Melody, the dental hygienist, had a way of putting her right at ease while she counted and cleaned her teeth, and Dr. Fourman congratulated her on no longer sucking her thumb. (After last year's appointment, we came straight home and duct taped mittens to both her hands every night for 2 weeks. It was so sad, but she knew it had to be done. She even reminded us to get the mittens on nights we forgot.) Then she received a "Disney Princess" flosser and a new pink toothbrush - and a sticker of Gloria the hippo from Madagascar. Does it get any better than that?

I, on the other hand, didn't fare quite so well. No princess flosser or sticker for me. But I do get to go back for another appointment next week!
