First Dentist Visit

Dear Mackenzie,

You had your very first dentist appointment yesterday and like all of your other firsts, you handled it like a boss. Some kids would be scared but when we were in the waiting room and the receptionist was calling patients' names, you actually kept jumping up and asking hopefully with a smile on your face, "My turn? Is it my turn now? Did she say Kenzie?" When it was your turn, you climbed right into the chair and opened your mouth for the dentist. And when the cleaning started to feel uncomfortable, you squirmed and resisted a little but you stayed in the chair and let the dentist do her thing. No crying, no biting, no needing Daddy or me to sit in the chair and pin your body on top of ours like we had do to with all of your older siblings when they were your age. Rock star! And not only were you an awesome first-time patient, when it was JieJie's turn, you put one hand on her chest and used your other hand to hold hers. Always looking out for your sister, so sweet!

Love,

Mom
