And it was a SUCCESS! Amelia was amazing — she watched mommy get her teeth cleaned and the whole time kept asking, " My turn now?" Literally every 12 seconds she said it...for like 8 minutes...it was quite annoying but very sweet at the same time. Of course, as soon as it was her turn she was very hesitant to get in the chair. I suggested having her sit on my lap and the dental hygienist said it was fine. It was actually quite difficult with my HUGE belly in the way.
Amelia sat back against me, opened up wide and we counted her teeth. She then let the hygienist polish/clean her teeth and even floss! I couldn't believe she sat there that long. The most amazing part was that she understood not to swallow the stuff and actually took water, swished it around her mouth and spit it out!!! Amelia was SO proud of herself! As soon as she was done she got a cool new toothbrush and asked if we could go get a balloon.....they didn't have any at the office so we had to hunt one down at the grocery store! But it was all worth it.
Unfortunately, since Amelia was on my lap I was only able to get this one photo of her and this photo doesn't really show how good of a girl she was.
