Appointments!!!!

Now that Hannah is three, we had to take her in for some appointments. First, her 3 year check up went very well. The doctor was extremely impressed with her vocabulary and how she can string sentences together and have quite an intellectual conversation...for a 3 year old that is. In the past year she has gained a whole ONE pound and four inches. She is still cruising along the 90th percentile for both height and weight.

Once we were finished with the doctor, it was off to our first dentist appointment. We took her to the same dentist Ed has been going to since he was a kid himself. Here she is tilting back into the chair. At this point she seemed to enjoy it. She was nervous when she put the scraping tool into her mouth. By the time she got to the flourinde, she was getting rather anxious. Here she is getting her flouride treatment (via a mouth piece) with the suction tool in between it.
The tech was very nice and let Hannah hold all of the tools (with the hopes to ease her nervousness). She even let her rinse her own mouth with the water gun.Once we told her she was all finished, she was able to crack a "clean teeth" smile.
She received two stickers, a purple crocodile flosser, a blue toothbrush, and a small toy for being such a big girl. She is growing up so fast (have I said that before???).
