Ellena's First Trip to the Dentist!

Today was Ellena's first trip to the dentist! When I was scheduling Evan's 6 month check-up, I asked when they would like to see Ellena. They said when she has about 8 teeth in. Oops. Ellena has 16. I guess we're a little behind. We didn't take Evan til he was 2 1/2, so I didn't think we were in any big rush. Oh well.

The girl did soooo good! She was a little hesitant at first, with the new surroundings and strangers, but she was surprisingly calm during the cleaning and exam. What a brave girl!

Here she is with her loot - a new toothbrush and a rubber ducky dressed as a witch. :)

Update - Ellena was stoked to use her new toothbrush tonight at bedtime. So stoked, that she didn't want to give it up. She read her bedtime books with them. As I was putting Evan down, I hear her screaming in the next room. Turns out, she didn't want to give it up in her crib either. I will be sneaking in tonight to get it. She did earn it... And if it gets her to brush all day long, then I won't complain. But I don't want her sleeping with it. :)
