Chloe's First Trip to the Dentist

We brought Chloe to the dentist last Thursday -- all of us had our teeth cleaned, so the timing seemed perfect. I had brought her to the clinic once before at the advice of our dentist, so she could get familiar with the surroundings and not freak out the next time she actually needed to see the dentist.

And so it happened. Chloe promptly marched up to the dental chair, sat herself down, wore the bib, smiled, showed her teeth, quietly followed instructions, and before you knew it, it was all done. I was shell-shocked at how well behaved she was. Really. The dentist asked her if she liked bubble gum (apparently the flavor of the toothpaste), she said yes, then when she tasted it, she said no. Hahaha, too late. Nevertheless, still, she was a real trooper. I mean, I move more than she does at the dentist!

Our dentist, Doc Mendoza, was really sweet too (get the joke there, hahaha). She gifted Chloe with a toothbrush and a smiley pin. Chloe was really jazzed. And truthfully, Louie and I were so darn PROUD.
