On Thursday, she had her first visit to the dentist. She walked back all by herself and got her teeth cleaned and x-rays taken. She came back after eager to show her bag of goodies to me and Gaby. She was so happy to get a new toothbrush and toothpaste that tasted like "bumblegun". The coolest thing she got was what she called "medicine", a gum that turns her teeth pink if she doesn't brush well.
The next day was her turn for a nurse visit at Bristol Park. She had just finished watching Gaby get a couple of shots earlier in the week, and she was not happy to be going for the same thing. Stuffed animal in hand, she laid down on the exam table and bravely took the remaining immunizations she needed to be set for Kindergarten. On top of that, she also needed to get a TB test done. Lips tightly pressed together, she endured it all without a single tear or whimper. She uttered one word: OUCH!
We went back to Bristol Park first thing Monday morning for the TB test result, which was normal. She was afraid that she was there for more shots and was so relieved to know that the nurse was only going to check "Mr. Smiley Face" on her arm. Later in the afternoon, we walked to Northwood to fill out school forms and turn in all our necessary documents. She is officially enrolled for Kindergarten 2010-2011. We go back on August 24 for her assessment to see which group she will be placed with. By that time, she may already be reading. We have been practicing reading a few sight words, and she just loves to write and learn how to spell so many words.
