Smile: Reagan's First Trip to the Dentist

A Monumental Moment Reagan actually took a nap yesterday after school!! This one needs marked on the calendar! Reagan NEVER takes naps! It's a good thing she did though because then she was all rested up for her very first dentist visit.

Reagan was very nervous about going to the dentist. We discussed everything that would happen before hand and she even saw a video about it on Reading Rainbow in preparation. She's such a trooper though. She climbed up in the big chair a little reluctantly, but did it without complaint. Cool thing number one: The bib-thing was PINK! One of her favorite colors. (She certainly doesn't get her color choice from me. Pink? Ugh!)

Cool thing number two: The dentist was wearing purple scrubs. Her other favorite color! I think he won her over with that alone. She did a super job! She's happy to report--no cavities Yay!! Afterwards, she told me "I guess it didn't hurt afterall".

Reagan also started in a new room at daycare yesterday and is loving it! I have to say I'm pretty impressed too. They had tons of two-year-olds moving up to Reagan's preschool room b/c of turning three. So, the daycare hired another worker and opened a second preschool room. Reagan is now in a room with older three's and four-year-olds. They did alot of exciting things and she is so excited about going. So much so that I think she may start going more often. Yesterday she was the calendar helper, which she thought was way cool. The teacher told me today that Reagan is doing great and loves to participate in everything and is "a great helper". Hopefully, her helping isn't trying to take over the teacher's job, which Reagan would love to do as she tells us frequently she wants to be a preschool teacher when she grows up.

As for Quinn, I have no new pictures. He had a little chest congestion and wasn't quite his usually smiley self. He's feeling better now so pictures should be forthcoming.
