Meeting Mr. Thirsty

Morgan went to the dentist for the first time yesterday. It was supposed to be a "happy" visit where the kids get to come, play with all the dental toys, ride in the chair, and go home with lots of prizes. We got a bonus from Morgan...who allowed the hygienist to "tickle her teeth" with the polisher. Sadly, I did not have my camera (GRRR) so I didn't get the actual visit on film, but Morgan did get this nifty book and a bunch of prizes.

Just look at all of those beautiful teeth!

The hygienist was SO nice...she let Morgan shoot water from the water/air tool at her plant across the room. Morgan was very patient while letting her count Morgan's teeth and use the mirror to see all of her alligator teeth. Morgan was most impressed with "Mr. Thirsty" (the sucking tool that I call the slobber sucker....maybe my friend Alaina can tell me the real name for that tool some day). She wanted to suck water out of everything except her own mouth! I suggested she use it to clean out her horribly stuffy nose, but sadly no one else thought that was a good idea :) Morgan was still talking about Mr. Thirsty this morning.

Overall her teeth look great. I also had a dentist appointment yesterday, and while I can report no cavities (YAY!) it was hardly a "happy" visit. I always leave the dentist feeling as if someone has totally violated my gums...they HURT! I don't know if I am just sensitive or if my torturer..er..hygienist is just a little hard on my mouth. In any event, we are both done until April, thank goodness.
