Firsts are both exciting and terrifying at the same time. The girls first trip to the dentist was today. Josh and I had visions of Kayleigh with a clenched jaw refusing to open her mouth and Grace kicking and screaming..... while it definitely started down that path the first couple minutes, they ended up doing great! When we first got there they were fulfilling my nightmare as Kay buried her head in my chest clenching her jaw and Grace hung on the bottom of Josh's pant leg. However, when Grandma promised toys if they opened their mouth and showed the hygenist their teeth, suddenly they were all game. The dental hygenist was really good with the girls. She counted their teeth, let them hold the mirror, demonstrated everything ahead of time, and let them pick out their own toothbrush. She was really patient and they did so well! I was so proud of them. They both got a bouncy ball and sticker from the dentist's drawer as they left. They were quite happy with themselves. :)

They both did great and we made it out with smiles and no cavities. The crazy part is that I saw the same dentist when I was a child! :)
