Dentist & Gymnastics

Well, we made it out of the dentist office alive (and NO CAVATIES!) There's not much to say about the visit, only that she cried, screaming, kicked, etc. Poor thing was just so scared! She never had been around a dentist office before, and she doesn't do well with transitions at. all. And it doesn't help that the teenager next to her was getting his teeth cleaned (with that loud, scary toothbrush) and he was bleeding! Scary to a 3 year old.

We had to move to a individual room because we were distracting all the other patients. We literally had to pin her down in the chair for the dentist to clean her teeth. I had her arms and the dental hygienist had her legs. She was REAL good at opening her mouth real wide. :-) It was fast and harmless, and we got a good report. Thank goodness!

The dentist was FABULOUS!! Now I know why she does what she does. If you want to be a Pediatric Dentist you have to be good with kids, and not get frustrated easily! She was exactly that. The sweetest lady!

Libby even got some goodies when we left. A princess tooth brush, princess toothpaste, princess floss and a pink ball. Girly much?? And they gave her a cute t-shirt! And this...




This was before she got hysterical. She still wasn't going to smile for anyone though.

We ended the day on a good note though! We had gymnastics! Way more fun than the dentist.
She even wore her "dentist" shirt over her leotard. She was ready to go to "gynastics"


Libby's gymnastic friend, Mary Grace (black leotard) is quite the little gymnast!




Attempting at a forward role by herself.


Libby's sweet class waiting to go on the trampoline.
L to R: Caroline, Libby, Mary Grace and Sarah is in front jumping. Libby's the oldest and tallest.



Getting a prize after class. She told the teacher that she wanted an orange sticker! 


Libby is definitely improving. She has so much fun! Her favorite is still the trampoline and her least favorite is probably bars and climbing the net. 

And she thinks it's pretty cool that she takes gymnastics at the same place the Auburn University gymnast practice! We even saw them. Very cool to a girl who knows nothing but Auburn!
