Dentist

Back on October 16th, Livy Lou had her very first big girl dentist appointment.

 

 

She wasn't nervous at all, until we got into the room. She was a little apprehensive, but cooperated until Mrs. Ann pulled out the big pointy pick thing and wanted to count her teeth. I gotta say, I don't really blame her... that thing does look a little scary! She cried a little, but Mrs. Ann had the great suggestion that I use it to count her teeth so she'll know it doesn't hurt. And voila! Mom had the magic touch! It became fun after she realized it wasn't scary.

 

Her favorite part of the whole experience was when Mrs. Ann squirted water in her mouth. She thought that was hilarious!

I even got a thumbs up!

 

They sent her home with lots of goodies, and she has played dentist several times around the house. She always says,

 

"Yooks yike you forgot to brush your teeth... you need a check-up!"

I had a dentist appointment at 10:30 this morning. We got up, got dressed, and were out the door in plenty of time; we were actually a little early. We were in the waiting room, and I noticed Livy kept scratching and tugging on her diaper...

 

*Side note: Since she's been on antibiotics, her diapers have been terrible... I mean terrible! Like leaking out from every angle, getting all over every single pair of pants I put on her, terrible!*

 

So fearing the worst, I lifted up the back of her skirt to check out her leggings, and sure enough... disaster! I knew I didn't have any spare diapers in the truck (I thought surely we could make it an hour without changing a diaper...) I was wrong. So I explained the situation to the lady at the desk who was very understanding and rescheduled me for 3:30 this afternoon.

 

We got to eat lunch with Drew today. While we were sitting at Mule's, out of the blue, Livy looks at me and says,

"I don't like you, I like Daddy."

I said, "What? I'm so sad! Why don't you like me?"

"Because I like Daddy."

"Well, you can like both of us."

"Ooh, I forgot! I do like you Mama."

 

We went home, I did a little laundry, and Livy played house with pieces of chalk. Yes, you read that right. She put 48 pieces of chalk in her baby doll bed and rocked them to sleep. She said,

"My chalks is sleepy!"

 

Then it was back to the dentist. Livy fell asleep on the way.... and slept the entire time we were there! She even snored a little... she was out! The hygienist thought it was hilarious.
