Give a Cheer
Madeleine's first trip to the dentist. I guess that I should preface this by saying that I am absolutely TERRIFIED of the dentist. To put a context to this statement, I'd rather give birth than go to the dentist...seriously! As a child, I had a very poor dentist who hurt me frequently (I'm hard to freeze...who knew?). We were never allowed any kind of junk food when I was a child, but my teeth are very soft and have deep grooves, so I had to endure some very difficult and stressful fillings. At any rate, it is especially important to me that I do not pass this fear of the dentist on to my daughters. I feel like a six year old again, every time I get in that chair!
Madeleine is now three, so we took her for her first appointment and she was freaked out by the chair...wouldn't sit in it, didn't want to operate it (the hygenist asked her if she'd like to take a spin with the controls) and was just generally not comfortable (no surprise really. I think the dentist's office can be a little overwhelming for a three year old). Didi took a picture, and there's me trying to look calm and collected when the very thought of being in that chair makes my skin crawl. You can see that Madeleine was less than impressed, but she did eventually let them count her teeth and even do a little flossing!
The journaling on the tag says: Madeleine's first time at the dentist, March 9th, 2010.
Didi: Madeleine, can I look at your teeth?
Madeleine: No, you may NOT!
At least she was polite! LOL!
Thanks for spreading positivity!
