Dentist day

Today was Lisa's first visit to the dentist. She did such a good job! I could not believe how she stayed so still in the dentist chair while they cleaned her teeth. She was even laughing at their corny jokes and smiling a lot. I must be really emotional because she was making me so happy I wanted to cry. Just one of those mother moments where you feel so lucky to be a mom and to have such a sweet kid. Of course, I may have been feeling that way partly also because we had just had a little temper tantrum struggle before getting in the car to go to the dentist and I was just so glad she got over it fast. It's such a roller coaster with the two of us. I just can't WAIT until we add the teenage factor of PMS into the equation!!! But anyway...the dentist. Everything looks healthy. The dentist commented on the gaps in her teeth being a good thing because it will be easier to keep them clean. We don't have to worry about flossing yet he said. Thank goodness she got Ryan's teeth and not mine! Maybe she'll be able to avoid braces. We went and got some frozen yogurt together, even though it's like 30 degrees outside. She was happy to come home and examine everything in her goody bag from the dentist.
