New Friends

Lauren got to make some new friends today. In no particular order, she met:

• Mr. Thirsty
• Mr. Sunshine
• Mr. Tooth Tickler
• Mr. Tooth Counter
• Miss Angie
• Dr. Niles

Confused? Today was Lauren's first trip ever to the Dentist! Mr. Thirsty is the suction thingie; Mr. Sunshine is that big spotlight; Mr. Tooth Tickler is the brush they use at the end of the cleaning; Mr. Tooth Counter was the little scrapey thing; Miss Angie is the hygienist; and the Dr. Niles is self-explanatory. We had been prepping her for the past week that this day was coming. We practiced big smiles and opening wide and making sure brushing our teeth before bed was part of the night time ritual. All of that paid of incredibly well today. Lauren was full of smiles and opening wides and, in general, was very cooperative with both the hygienist and the dentist. On top of being so cooperative, they were very pleased with how Lauren's teeth looked. Even her chipped tooth looked good.
I'm really looking forward to tomorrow because I get to unveil a brand new toy for Lauren: a Power Wheels Corvette! My friend, Tony, gave me a little while ago, but the battery didn't arrive until today. So, if you are in our area, watch out for a good looking blond cruising around the neighborhood in a corvette with the top down. I'm guessing she's going to go until all 6 volts of that bad boy are drained.
