Dentists aren't as bad as Doctors!

Lin seemed to have a great time at the movie the other day. She was very happy when her friend asked her, via the pocket-translator, if she wanted to go. Before the movie she did her hair -- nothing fancy, but I just thought it was so cute that she wanted to spend time styling her hair before going! When she got home she said the movie was good, and she was really chatty and silly all evening. So I think she had fun.

Yesterday Lin went to the dentist for the first time in her life. Only 1 cavity and no other problems -- woo hoo!! Dave and I were both worried about what they would find, although Lin has never complained about her teeth. The poor girl was in the dentist chair for nearly 2 hours!! First she had a consultation with the dentist, which wasn't too invasive, just more or less looking at her teeth. And then the cleaning began! I told Lin that she could tell the hygenist to stop at any time. The hygenist was very caring and didn't want to overwhelm Lin or frighten her from ever coming back, and she said she would clean until Lin had had enough. Well, Lin hung in there and did great! Now hopefully getting that cavity filled won't be too traumatic for her.

I don't have any new pictures of Lin, but here are some pictures of Ruby, demonstrating how to properly clean your Radio Flyer Red Wagon:

Step One: Fill with water

Step Two: Add soap

Step Three: Add more water as needed (flip-flops are optional )

Step Four: Rinse and repeat

*The addition of a fancy dress and a fluffy pink tutu are optional, and will not affect the outcome of the cleaning.*
