Lucy had her first trip to the dentist yesterday! She fell very hard on Saturday at the skating rink. (Mind you - it was after a full morning of skating and the skates were already off!). At any rate - she hit her upper mouth and it loomed bad enough to take her in for her first visit. She ended up having a very bad bruised upper lip bone - but hopefully the tooth root was not damaged. If you ask Lucy now - she enjoyed the dentist and is a proud big girl for going. If you ask anyone who witnessed her trip they will tell you that it took two tries to get her in the chair - complete with one trip back to the waiting room to regroup and as to "not scare the other kids with her hysterics". She seriously screamed the ENTIRE time. Then got a sticker and new toothbrush and proclaimed "I like the dentist" once we were gone from the office and safely back in the car. My little challenge girl!
(Obviously no actual pictures of her in the chair because I was busy using both arms and my entire body to restrain her.)
