Dentist Drama

Ava and Jane's big trip to the dentist finally arrived this week. It was all and more Ava hoped for! Not so much for Jane. Grammy came with us to help out. While we waited...
...the girls played in the theater...
...checked out the fish...
...played tic-tac-toe...
...Then came Jane's turn to get her x-rays...

Oh boy! She was not having anything to do with it. She wiggled and called the hygienist "mean" and "scary." So...no x-rays for her...none.
This cute sign welcomed the girls to their spot for cleaning...
First up was Ava...she savored every minute and didn't want to get up from the bench.

Jane made it on the bench with her sunglasses and that was the end of her visit. No pictures of the drama because I was holding her down so the dentist could at least pry open her mouth to make sure things were okay...and they were. She told the dentist "I am too big for this and you are scary."
The girls got their coins and traded them in for a prize. Just as we got in the car Jane said she loved the dentist. Ava said she wants to be a dentist when she grows up....Jane wants to be Elmo. Perfect.
We went for ice-cream to celebrate no cavities. :)

I think it's safe to say Jane won't be making a countdown chain when her reminder comes in the mail this Fall. :)

Oh my gosh...this cracks me up! And also scares me just a tad: I have Mia scheduled there for a June appointment...and I'll be by myself with her and Finn. Oh boy, maybe I can take Ava as a helper :)
I hope Mia lets them do their thing because I'm pretty sure she's going to need some serious orthodontic work when she's older and I want to know how much I need to start saving now! :)
