Speaking of teeth....

The girls had a dentist appt at their new dentist's office today. It was Sophie's first real cleaning. I could not believe how great this dentist office is!! It is designed just for kids. When you walk in the waiting room you feel like you are in a tree house! There are tv's with cartoons on and video games and lots and lots of books. The girls didn't enjoy it as much as I would have liked since there were nervous, but I did convince them to look at some books. My friend and I book our appts together so her son and the girls wouldn't be so afraid. Both girls did great! Kayleigh, being the bigger sister, went first and had no problems sitting still! When she was done, I picked up Sophie to put her in the chair and she yelling at me, saying that only Kayleigh was doing it today. Apparently she missed the part when I told them they BOTH were doing it!! But she calmed down and did a great job!!! In the pictures you will see why it was easy for them stay calm! And no cavities....yea!!!

They had a computer screen right next to the chair so that they could see the pictures of their teeth seconds after they took the xrays! We could see on Kayleigh's that one of her bottom teeth is starting to come up....hence, the loose tooth!

Sophie not so sure about what is about to happen. But listening to the tv!

Sophie watching Dora on the FLAT SCREEN on the ceiling!! (when we first got there and Kayleigh sat down I saw some headphones and I show them to her saying how cool it was that she could watch cartoons and have them on and not hear the cleaning. She put them and said that it wasn't Dora on the headphones. I was looking around for a remote and happened to look up and see a tv on the ceiling! It was on a different channel. We fixed it and I showed Kayleigh that when they lay her back she can still watch tv! Why didn't they have all this when I was little at the dentist!?!?!? So needless to say, the cartoons provided a wonderful distraction. Kayleigh didn't want to get out of the chair when she was done!)

Still watching on the ceiling. Almost oblivious to the cleaning....almost!

Loose tooth!

Kayleigh has her first loose tooth!! It is very exciting and scary at the same time for her. Most of her friends have already lost at least one tooth. She didn't cut her first tooth until she was 9 months old, so I knew she would be late loosing them. She asks me every day, "is it ready to come out, yet". I can't believe my baby is going to lose her first tooth!!
