Today was Ella's first trip to the dentist. Yes, i realize i am almost two years behind on getting her there. Anyway, we did make it. I had scheduled to take Jack but the nurse told me he was not quite old enough so maybe next time. Her appointment was at 11. That happens to be our lunch time! I am not quite sure what i was thinking when i said that time was fine. We started school early to ensure we would be on time. I was supposed to be there 15 minutes early for the whole paper work exercise. We made it there 5 minutes early thanks to the grace of the GPS on my phone. I never thought my phone would be so handy. Ella was excited. They got her back and cleaned her teeth which she thought was the best. She then had x-rays and saw the dentist and told him "Roll Tide"(he was a Georgia fan). He followed a short talk about the SEC by telling me she had two cavities. Uh-oh! Turns out as hard as it is to floss between the back two teeth it is necessary. I might choke her trying to get back there but we will be flossing. She goes back in November to get them filled. She was really excited about going back and wearing the Mickey Mouse nose with the laughing gas. I do have to say if he told me i was getting the gas i would be excited too. Wes and i had inhaling down to a science. It was too good to waste. I know my mom is proud right now. :) Overall, Ella got an abundance of praise for her attitude, manners and cooperation. She was the greatest patient. I do have to say i was a very proud Momma walking out (even though she had two cavities). Hopefully, the boys will love the dentist as much as Ella does.

Ahh, Unfortunately, it looks like Ella has inherited Mommy's teeth... but on an up note she got her Uncle Wes's disposition. What luck!
I am super impressed with Ella's good attitude and am now considering waiting on EK's first appointment in the spirit of hoping she will adopt a love for the dentist as well. Here's to early cavities...I was in that club and am fairly certain that the genes will be passed on. Bummer!
Ella you are such a big girl and I am so proud of you! I hear you were an awesome patient and got some cool toothbrushes and floss. I wished I loved going to the dentist as much as Ellas seemed to.
Love y'all!
