This morning all three girls had appointments at the dentist. We have never had major issues with the dentist, just a few hiccups along the way. Ava has always loved the dentist, and never been nervous or complained about her visits. Jocelyn was not a fan of the moving chair for a visit or two, and had to be coaxed into lying down to be examined. Molly was much the same, not wanting to lie down and being pretty upset when we forced her to lean back into the dentist's lap for her cleaning. I'm never worried about our visits, but am always curious as to how they will go.
It is amazing the difference six months makes. Ava went back all by herself, and had her complete cleaning without me even being with her. Jocelyn and Molly were called back next, so I stood with Molly while also in Jocie's sightline. Molly laid down in the chair all by herself, and while she asked for me to hold her hand once or twice, she did everything the hygienist asked her to do without any issues. Meanwhile Jocelyn got x-rays without any problems. We left with zero cavities and zero complaints. I was so proud of my big girls, their beautiful smiles, and their brave spirits.
