first dentist visit

ivy's first dentist appointment:

september 6, 2:50PM. 

dr. eggers - menlo park. 

this really isn't a big deal or any kind of milestone, but i'm just documenting it anyway. 

probably because she was so hilarious during in it. 

she was excited to sit up in that big chair and see what was in store. 

maybe she was feeling special with all the attention.

our new dentist's office is really small and there may have been one other patient there. 

the staff was SO sweet and made it comfortable and fun.

still, she surprised me with how interested and attentive she acted. 

the nurse showed her all the tools and explained what they did. 

ivy paid good attention and let her put the different gadgets in her mouth.

when the dentist came in, she turned her little body towards him, 

placing her hands on his at one point (haha) 

and nodded and answered questions like she was 13. 

when he would make a joke and we laughed, 

she would put her hand over her mouth 

and let out a big fake laugh like she does.  

so funny. 

anyway, he counted her teeth, showed her everything up on the screen,

 gave her a new toothbrush and said to come back next year!  

and that was that. 

good girl ives!
