Dentist

Yesterday, Logan had her first dentist appointment! Our pediatrician said she's at a good age to get seen since she's got so many of her teeth in and it's a good age to start promoting those healthy habits. I had really wanted to get some pictures in the examination room because it was themed like a rainforest and had butterflies hanging and trees everywhere, but Logan was pretty clingy and so that didn't happen.
She did really well until the hygienist pulled Logan's head into her lap to clean her teeth, then she didn't know what was going on. She kept saying, "mommy, I meed (need) you, I tan't do this, I tan't do this!" I didn't know whether to laugh because it was so cute or cry right along with her because she was so scared. She got through it, though, with the promise that we'd order her a special, non food related treat when we got home. Here she is showing off her clean teeth (she wouldn't smile, I think her teeth felt really funny with the fluoride in):
She's got a nice, healthy set of teeth! Her two year molars haven't popped yet, but the Dr. says they're right under the surface so it could be any time. He says she does a great job with her brushing and to keep it up and we'll go back in a year and then start regular exams every 6 months or so.
(at this point she was done with pictures and wanted to get home to show daddy her teeth)
