Ellery had her first dentist appointment yesterday evening. She did so good! They said that she actually did better than some of their 12 year old patients. She has no cavaties! WooHoo! That was my biggest fear-that they were going to get in there and tell me her teeth are a mess! Their only concern was that she grinds her teeth. I have heard her do this while she is sleeping. They said that they will keep an eye on it and if it gets too bad they will build her tooth up as to not cause any damage to the actual tooth. She got to wear some cool sunglasses to block the bright lights. They also let her play with the suction thing. She wasn't so sure about it at first but she ended up laughing every time the put it in her mouth. When we first got there they said "are you ready to get your teeth tickled?" When she got done I told her that she did such a great job getting her teeth tickled and she said "But Mom they didn't really tickle my teeth!" I really meant to bring my camera but completely forgot. Oh well-I guess I saved myself from looking like a crazy Mother, haha!
While we are on the teeth subject...I am expecting little miss Delani to pop a tooth at any time! She got her 2 bottom teeth right at 6 months. She has been SUPER crabby and giving us such a hard time at night. In fact, last night she was up crying from 3ish to after 5 when I finally broke down and gave her a bottle. She would take a few sucks, then cry, suck, cry...so I'm thinking those teeth are really giving her a hard time. At least Mama & Dada are hoping it's just the teeth and once they pop through she will start sleeping better. We have had some very tiresome days!
This weekend we are going to try camping for Memorial Day. Luckily Papa & GG are going to let us use their motor home so hopefully it won't be too bad. Delani is such an outdoors girls so I'm sure she will do just fine. Happy Memorial Day!
