Dentist

Last week Emily needed to go to the dentist to get some small cavities filled.  I knew it was going to be a struggle for her because she has a fear of laying back in a dentist chair. . . and her recent visit to the ENT to dig the earring back out of her ear didn't quite help with those fears.  Plus, this was going to be the first time she went back without me  . . . so I promised her a special treat if she was a big girl for me.  She gave them all some trouble at the beginning but they finally convinced her to let them get their work done.  The first thing she said to me when she came out was "are we going to get my treat now?"  I took her to the dollar store and she picked out paint and a picture:

Abigail also got to try fruit snacks for the first time and has deemed them "good".

She has watched her sister eat these so many times and practically drooled all over her . . . so I finally let her give them a try : )
