dental diva

today was kate's first visit "official" visit to the dentist.

her first unofficial visit was a bit dramatic.

this dental office was made for kids. she got a complete tour, got to see hold the instruments and got to hold a mirror to watch her exam.

i was apprehensive since i was sure she was going to go nuclear, but was i surprised. she was a rock star!

it all started with the hygienist putting "lipstick" on her. she was thrilled. this was followed by a very gentle exam. then she met the kind, soft spoken dentist who pronounced her teeth "wonderful".

but the real highlight was at the end. the hygienist painted her nails! she has a choice between purple and pink. then they dried her nails with the instrument they use to blow air on her teeth. she was smiling from ear to ear with her bright pink lips.

who knew one would get a makeover and manicure at the dentist? my dentist never did that for me.

she in now the dental diva and is asking for lipstick every 5 minutes. move over ms. palin....kate has lipstick, too.

ps

sam did not get lipstick or his nails painted. he got two little cars for being so good and allowing them to take an xray due to an injury to his front tooth.

xray results revealed:
1) his baby tooth did not receive enough trauma to kill it off
2) his adult teeth appear to be the size of a large beaver's
3) know a good orthodontist?

kate did want to know where sammy's lipstick was...
