Caitlin's BIG Week

Missy started back at school on Wednesday. She was so excited to be heading back. A Year 2 girl now. I can't quiet believe that she is into her 3rd year at big school. It's all happening so fast. Really fast.

She loves her new class, and her teacher, Mrs Reinert is one of the best. She's going to have a great year.

On Saturday Caitlin had to go to the dentist to have a tooth out. Do you want to know how it went?

From the minute she woke up, she carried on a treat... I seriously didn't think I was going to get her out the door, even though I said she could wear her favourite dress which is only for special occassions.

We finally made it just in time, and then she really turned it on. She was so stubborn. Tears. Yelling. The carry on was unbelievable.

Now, this kid has had 2 fillings and been to the dentist for her checkups and cleanings so she is familiar with what happens and the dentist, nurse and receptionist.

Anyway... Finally after many threats (of no lollies, ice cream, treats, etc. etc. ever again in her whole life), I got in the chair, and she laid on top of me! 2 seconds after she started breathing in that strawberry gas she was off her face and the dentist could have done anything he wanted to her.

Tooth out, tooth fairy been, all is good... now.

She has promised that next time we go to the dentist she is going to do it with grace and style! We shall see lol.
