This past Tuesday Olivia, Isaac and I headed to the dentist for Olivia's very first appointment. Honestly, I was nervous. I had not confirmed with Nate to watch Isaac so I had to bring him with me- not a huge deal, but a factor. And I just didn't know if Olivia would love it or hate it or something in between. We talked about and practiced how to open your mouth and I even stuck my fingers in her mouth like the dentist might to count her teeth and make sure they are healthy. 
As you can see, the dentist was a positive experience for all parties involved, I am so thankful!!! In fact, I must brag on Olivia a little bit- the hygentist, Kelly, said she was acting like a kindergartner she did so well!!! She sat in the big chair all by herself, let Kelly count her healthy teeth- ten on top and ten on bottom. Olivia had her teeth brushed, by herself and with the fancy spinning toothbrush with fruity flavored toothpaste. She even allowed Kelly to floss her teeth AND apply fluoride She requested a mint flavor for that one. When she was all done she got to pick out a sticker that she wore all day and take home a goody bag with a toothbrush and floss.
I am seriously SO proud of my big girl Olivia. I can only hope the next visit goes so well!!!
