This appointment started out okay. Addy sat in my lap and the assistant let her play with the tools, her favorite being the little round mirror (shocker, I know). Then she got to pick out a new toothbrush. Addy let the assistant polish about 4 teeth with the high powered polisher then she insisted on switching to manual. She wasn't about to let the lady squirt water into her mouth so I'm sure the lingering taste of that tooth paste was nice.
Addy was being as cooperative as a 2 year old can be until the dentist arrived. All six feet four inches and 240 pounds of him. At that point Addy was DONE. She cried, she hid, she peeked at him then hid and cried some more. If you ain't my daddy you ain't touchin' me! Once he gave up and left she kept an eye on the hallway for the rest of the visit to make sure he wasn't going to sneak up on her again.
We spent the rest of the visit watching Daddy get his teeth cleaned. Addy was fascinated by it. If you ever have the opportunity to see your spouse have their teeth cleaned, pass. There is nothing attractive, appealing, sexy, interesting...about it! I enjoy a nice set of pearly whites and a nice steak. I don't need to see the what goes on "behind the scenes" to get them in that condition.
Addy walked out of the dentists office with two toys from the toy chest and a new toothbrush which brings this weeks Gifts from Strangers total to 5.
