Today was my day to visit the dentist and Emily was (initially!) excited to join me and have her teeth "counted" by Dr. Tommy and his staff. I thought it might be a nice introductory visit before she has to go for the real deal. She enjoyed playing in the kids' area and had a blast with Donald while I got my cleaning. She came in to sit with me while Dr. Tommy checked me out and that's when her enthusiasm disappeared! She climbed up in my lap, latched on to my neck, and wouldn't look anyone in the eye. He blew up a rubber glove and drew a silly face on it for her, which caused her to thaw out - but only just a little! Aunt Rita gave her lots of stickers and goodies, which ended the visit on a good note, as did the new Cinderella toothbrush our hygienist gave her. As we were leaving in the car, she suddenly said, 'That Dr. Tommy is such a funny guy!" I guess she liked him more than she wanted to let on in the office!
