Though I wasn't sure how she would take it, last week I informed Lydia that not only would her brothers be going in for their six month dental check-ups, but that she would be joining them for her very First Visit.
Lydia has watched her older brothers go to the dentist every six months for years. Maybe that is why she so willingly welcomed this new adventure. She was ecstatic, not scared in the least. She was her usual social self, chatting with each and every person that passed by. She was confident and couldn't wait to pick out of the famous prize bucket that she had heard so much about.
I do have to say that our Pediatric Dentist is a pretty cool place to visit. With a spaceship, video games and movies in the waiting room, who wouldn't be excited to go? Once you are in the chair you can watch a movie right above your head.
"101 Dalmations" was playing when we arrived, but Lydia had no reservations about requesting one of her favorite movies for her First Cleaning: "Princess and the Frog." Lydia was so sweet and happy to be there, the "girl dentist," as Lydia called her, was glad to oblige.
Once Lydia had her teeth counted by the actual dentist, he proclaimed to the entire office: "Lydia has no cavities!" The whole office staff cheered for her. Lydia got her picture taken and a goodie bag full of prizes, along with a T-Shirt. She then completed long awaited dream of going to the prize bucket, by picking out a purple sticky hand.
