a date to the dentist

Mikayla had her first official trip to the dentist on Thursday. It was a little mommy-daughter date since I had an appointment at the same time. Well, mommy-daughter-Dolly date. Dolly had to come, too...for a sense of security, of course.

Here's my sweet girl in pictures...


It was a success other than the brief moment where she cried a little when the dentist said that he wanted to look in her mouth. Luckily, it was short-lived and she went through with the cleaning anyway. The dental hygienist had her stand at the sink to avoid the nervousness of having to lay down in the chair. And, of course, she got a special prize at the end...and what little 3-year old doesn't like that? She also brought home a toothbrush for her little brother. She thought of that all on her own! My little girl...so thoughtful.
