Firsts and Teeth

I took the girls to the dentist today. They were champs and aced their exams so no cavities to report! We were only told to focus more on brushing the top teeth and flossing. Sam went first while Sofie played in the waiting room. Neither kid had any concerns about being on their own and each happily went about their own business.

Sam is just about to lose her first tooth! Talk about perfect timing for a dentist appointment! You can see the big tooth starting to come in already! Samantha does not want the tooth fairy to come though... she needs time to process the unknown. Sam's instinct is to fear things like this, but she'll come around. For now, the tooth fairy is an unwelcome guest and that is okay for now.

Sofie's first dentist appointment happened too... we've been practicing keeping her mouth open and call it the "dentist face". She listened (even keeping her hands on her belly) and exceeded my expectations! I was (and still am) very proud of her!

Both of the girls are growing up so fast... their smiles are all the motivation I need.
