I’m overdue for a post, I know. I have pictures and activities to report and some cute Zufan antics, but for now here we are, at Mommy’s dental appointment this morning. I brought Zufan along and she sat “very, very still” on my lap during the cleaning and check-up — as you can see. 
I sincerely apologized for having to bring her along, but had no other option this morning. They told me it’s OK, but I’d have to have her sit in the corner of the exam room with some books and toys. At the mere suggestion of such a travesty Zufan started tensing up for a total, panicky screaming disaster. I said well OK then, if she can’t sit on my lap I’ll have to reschedule, because this 2 year old won’t sit alone in any unfamiliar corner quietly. The hygenist (probably cursing her fate for having been assigned this troublesome case) said we could try it. Surprisingly, it went really quite well. Zufan seemed to enjoy the experience, and kept stretching her neck and leaning forward to try to get the best view of the action. And really, why wouldn’t she enjoy it? I enjoyed it too, far more than I do a typical dental appointment. Park, zoo, swimming pool, dentist; the differences are minimal. What matters most is who you’re with.

She’s a champion! (She referring to Zufan, but now that I think about it, dentist appts. stink, so you get a gold star too).
