1st Dentist Visit

Seems like we have been so busy lately, but nothing that was blog and picture worthy.  Lucy has been so busy with her new school schedule/activities and we have also just been trying to enjoy some down time as a family - going to the park, out for dinners, walking to the toy store and going to some of the fall city fests - now that the Octoberfests are all starting :)  Football Sundays have become our favorite day because we spend most of the day around the house getting things done, going to the park and have been cooking and grilling out at night.  

But, Lucy is having a big week!  She has her first dentist visit on Monday, which was a success in the fact I can check it off my to-do list, but Lucy didn't like as much as I thought.  She was all ready for the appointment, telling me "I want to get my teeth brushed" all morning.  When we got there, she was in heaven with the cutest little play space with princess dolls and a kitchen, and in the room they played Disney princess sing-a-longs and tied a Disney princess into every discussion (they named the flavored toothpastes after Aurora, Belle, etc for her.) But, she didn't like getting her teeth counted or the electric toothbrush. I don't blame her - but was surprised because she thinks doctors are the greatest thing ever! I was really happy with the office and how good they were with Lucy. This summer I was walking by with my mom and said I wanted to go there because it was "so cute" and my mom said I couldn't pick a dentist by how cute the offices were. But, I did some real research and both dentists were chief residents at Children's Memorial Hospital so that qualifies in my book!!!

A pic of a pic - her official "first dentist visit pic" that we have as a keepsake. I am filling out the mass of paperwork.

The prize bank!!!! Lucy got some really tiny ball that she immediately put in her mouth so I had to throw it out. It was a big ordeal but she had fun getting a prize.

On Thursday, Lucy's birthday is being celebrated at her school so we are bringing treats and Joe and I are staying as parent assistants for the class.  So, we are excited to see Lucy and all of her friends in action at school.  She talks about her teachers a lot, the other kids, and sings her school songs all the time so I am excited to spend the day with her :)  I am sure we will a few pics from the day!
