"Ellison's 1st trip to the Dentist"

About a month after Ellison turned 2, she had her first dentist visit.  She overall did great - she got alittle scared when "Dr. David" had to examine her mouth and it took both of us to hold her down (fun times), but she did great with the sweet young girl who cleaned her teeth beforehand!  Big brother came with us and he was about as encouraging to her as I have ever seen!!  He really took the lead and showed her around and explained everything to her and helped make her so comfortable. It was one of those precious moments that you wish you could freeze in time. It upset him to see her get so scared with Dr. David, but he continued to gently encourage her and pat her head. She was fine as soon as the exam was over, and acted as if she realized it wasn't as bad as she was making it out to be!!

I asked her what she was going to do when Dr. David asked to see her teeth...., this was her response! 

He really was so helpful, so encouraging, and so proud of her

A balloon and a bag of goodies makes everything better

Big milestone crossed!
