Alli's first dentist appointment

No pictures in this post...since I had Alli in my lap.  Alli went to the dentist for the first time yesterday. She did pretty good. She was all excited because we had seen a Caillou episode where he went to the dentist, so it peaked her interest. She did really well for the hygienist. Everything she asked her to do, she did. She even sat in the big chair all by herself.  Blair, the hygienist, cleaned her teeth, flossed, and took x-rays. Alli wasn't too fond of the flossing.  While we waited for the dentist she wanted to sit in my lap, and as soon as he came in, she had the vulcan death grip on me. He was a big man, but got down on her level and talked to her, and she just buried her head in my chest. She wanted nothing to do with him! Nothing he did made her smile or anything. I found him quite entertaining.  Alli's now in the stage where boys are "yucky", so I'm not sure if that had anything to do with it or not.  So, she ended having her exam in my lap. At first, she wouldn't open her eyes or her mouth.  Dr. Jones finally was able to coax her into opening her mouth, but not her eyes.  After he counted and looked at her teeth, Blair, the hygienist painted on the fluoride treatment, which they told her tasted like bubblegum...she informed them they were incorrect. Dr. Jones said her teeth are looking good, and best of all: No cavities!  They did give her a new Dora toothbrush and toothpaste, a sticker, and a bouncy ball, which she seemed happy about, but said she didn't want to go back even for a prize!
