A Week of Firsts

Last week we had a few firsts around here.

1. Little Miss Sunshine's first trip to the dentist. Naturally, I forgot my camera. Although a little nervous initially, all went well. It helped that there was a copy of the Bernstein Bears Go to the Dentist in the lobby. The hygienist came out and met Little Missy in the waiting room which I thought was a great way to begin building a relationship of trust. She showed her around the office and explained in a fun way how everything worked. Little Miss Sunshine especially got a kick out of "Mr. Squirt", the water squirter thing. All in all it was a good visit - 20 teeth, no cavities, and a free pink toothbrush.

2. Pupetta's first toothbrush. Little Miss Sunshine picked it out for her. Abby Cadabby. Cute. Amazingly, Pupetta actually tolerates the brushing and I would venture to say actually enjoys it!

3. FIRST STEPS!!!Pupetta took her first jaunt across the kitchen last week. Although she still has a good month or so before she is actually "walking", it's good to see her first attempts and she the look of pride and joy on her sweet little face.
