A Trip to the Dentist

Speaking of the little ladybug, we had our second trip to the dentist today. The first one was horrible for a variety of reasons, so today we went to a new dentist. The ladybug was very scared. She does not like anything to do with doctors, masks, seemingly sterile environments, funny looking chairs and tools. She TRIED to be brave. At most, I got her to open her mouth for the dentist by practicing many, many times over the past week. "The dentist will say: AHHHH! Then he will say: Oooh, look at those shiny teeth. Then he will say GOOD JOB." He didn't quite say all of those things, but was very good with the bug. Tonight at dinner, the babysitter came over. Ladybug, who doesn't seem to shut up at home, told the sitter: Dentist. Ahhhh! Hiney Tooth! Good job. Give me toothbrush." Perhaps she is proud that she survived the dentist without screaming this time. I for one am glad that we don't have to go back for six months. Yee haw.
