open wide

Last week, the day after her third birthday, our Petite Artiste went to the dentist for the first time. An actual, very own cleaning of her very own. She has come accustom to visiting the dentist and watching her older siblings get their teeth cleaned. She had everything down. She sat right down in that big, plastic covered chair and opened wide. However, the hygienist thought she needed to show everything to Petite Artiste and Petite Artiste impatiently ran through the motions all the while with her mouth opened wide.

Then the hygienist tried to lay the chair down and that's when she lost Petite Artiste. She wanted nothing to do with laying down in anything. So she got her teeth cleaned sitting straight up.
