Dentist

Sofia and I went to the dentist today. Sofia was very patient and well behaved while waiting for me to have my teeth cleaned. I was having visions of her running around terrorizing the poor front desk people. It helped that the dentist has a two year old and knew how to talk to her, distract her, etc and gave her some cups and toothbrushes to play with. Then it came to be Sofia's turn and she was very good about opening her mouth while the dentist "counted" her teeth. But, when it came time for the polishing, she clammed up. Would not open her mouth. She didn't like the sound of the polishing tool and wasn't about to let it in her mouth. We tried for what seemed like an eternity to convince her, bribe her, reason with her, and finally she opened her lips to clean the two front teeth. Oh well, I'm sure next time will go better. She is now used to Daddy's drill and will even "help Daddy" and she's finally getting used to the vacuum.
