Olivia did great at the dentist! Wait no, let me rephrase that, Olivia behaved exactly like any 2 and a half year old would behave at the dentist. At first she loved it! She picked grape flavored
fluoride toothpaste and she proudly told the dental
hygienist that she likes to "brush teeth". She brushed the teeth of the stuffed alligator they had. She sat in the big scary chair. She let the dental
hygienist brush and count her teeth. She was having a blast. She laughed at the dentist's special glasses. She said "
ahhh" and opened her mouth. She told him how she likes to "brush teeth". Then it came time for the exam, I helped the dentist hold her down while she screamed, kicked, cried, and bit. I loved the dentist! He was so calm about all of it and told her that she behaved exactly like every 2 and a half year old should. When it was over she got a brand new toothbrush and she got to pick a prize from the toy chest. We'll see you again in 6 months doc.

That sounds like a pretty good visit! At least she really enjoyed the first part. Jimmie Gahagan was telling me the other day about his little boy's trip to the dentist (same age as Olivia) and his boy also had to be held down...by Jimmie and two dental hygentists!
Sounds perfectly normal to me! When my sister was about that age she was really sick and the guy at the doctor's office took a throat swab and drew some blood. Mom told him to do the blood first because she hated the swab. He didn't listen and did the swab first. When he went to draw the blood, my sister slapped him!
