We had our follow up appointment with the dentist today for Josilyn's chipped tooth and I can honestly say I've never been more proud. Josilyn was the epitome of PERFECT. Seriously.
This whole week I have secretly been dreading this day; with flashbacks of the screaming little girl I had from our last visit, who wouldn't be dreading a repeat trip. But what, wait, hold the phone ... did the Tooth Fairy come during the night to rid Josilyn of her fears?! She must have because we had nothing but smiles and a cooperative girl today. She got ready without a fuss this morning, brushed her teeth (I mean actually brushed her teeth instead of just sucking the toothpaste off like normal) and off we went. Josilyn. Dolly. Bunny. Tags. And Mom.
The dentist went through a basic exam first. Both of Josilyn's 2-year molars on the bottom are IN!!! Then she got our her "tooth tickler" to sand down the chipped tooth. I couldn't believe how well Josilyn laid back in the dentist's lap and kept her mouth open. Each of the staff kept commenting on how good she was and how brave she was being ... so much so we walked away with a stock of stickers, toothbrushes and a fishy sippy cup. Christmas at the dentist - maybe!?!?
As we left Josilyn had to say goodbye and give a Hi-5 to everyone, including the fish! I walked away thinking it doesn't get much better than this. Love my girl to pieces!
