Sheinah goes to the dentist

At three years old, we figured it was time for Sheinah to get her teeth checked out. Yes, we realize that this set of teeth will be replaced, but we wanted her to get used to the dentist while she was young. Travis had the honor of taking her since it was at Melissa's check-up last month that the dentist said Sheinah was old enough to come in. Our dental hygenist is amazing! She let Sheinah sit on Travis tummy while she cleaned his teeth. She told Sheinah what she was doing and showed her all the tools. Thus, when it was Sheinah's turn, she was her usual cheerful self. She let the hygenist do the entire procedure without a single unhappy moment.

The best part was when Melissa asked her how her appointment was...the first thing Sheinah told Melissa was that the dentist told her she had to stop sucking her thumb and stop peeing in her pull-up. Now, the real story is that our dentist has a three year-old also. He DID tell Travis that Sheinah's teeth were starting to be affected by the thumb-sucking and that she did need to stop. However, the pull-up statement was exaggerated. Travis and the dentist were just talking about having a three year-old and mentioned that we were working on her getting through the night dry. Sheinah interpreted that to mean the dentist wanted her to stop peeing :)

Enjoy the pictures (they were taken with Travis' phone so the quality is not all that great).
