Penny's first dentist visit

By reading the Berenstain Bears over and over, we've unwittingly prepared our child for all sorts of traumatic childhood events. This week we took Penny to the dentist, and she was a champ! I thought she'd be nervous, but it didn't seem like she was.
During my cleaning, she combed my hair for a while. 

Then when it was her turn, she climbed up into the chair, just like Brother and Sister Bear.

Penny found these sunglasses, which are essential for being cool while having your teeth cleaned.

The hygienist showed her all the tools first.

Then she showed on Penny's hand what the tools did.

Then she cleaned her teeth.

Look at those pearly whites!

One funny thing that happened: I called to make my appointment, and I told the receptionist my name, "Chelsea Fisher."
She typed for a while, then said, "I don't see you in the system. I wonder if it's still under Christensen."
I do love my small town!

Benson is so obsessed with the Berenstain Bears, that he's started calling me Mama and John Papa, and Cole is now just called Brother. I kind of like them too-- the one we just got that made me laugh out loud was Too Much Vacation. Penny should get it.
