First Dentist Appointment!


Ali got to go to the dentist for the first time today!  I thought she had an extra tooth behind her front bottom teeth... I was wrong.  In all fairness, I wasn't the only one who thought they saw it though - Whitney saw it too!
   Ali was awesome for the hygenist and dentist!  She laid down and let them brush her teeth and put fluoride on.  Then she let the dentist count and scrape (is that what they call it?) her teeth.  She thought it was all pretty funny and would try to bite the dentist and then laugh this creepy little laugh.  The dentist said her teeth look strong and healthy!  It must be all that brushing we do at night! :)
It was funny though because the dentist looked over her chart and then saw that I had written down that she has Down Syndrome.  There was another family in the same area as us, and when he starting talking about what to expect with her teeth and her Down's he started whispering.  I thought it was hilarious, since the family that was in there with us all of a sudden started listening and looking over at us.  Did the dentist think it was a secret that she has Down's?  Did he not want to embarras us in front of the other family?  Did he not want Ali to hear that she has Down Syndrome?  I really didn't understand, I wasn't offended or anything, I just thought it was really funny that his voice dropped!

Ali got a sticker that was obviously delicious!  (On a side note, how cute do those little leg-warmers look?!?!  Aunt Whitney did her hair in pigs today and she looked like a little 80's aerobic's instructor!)
