I feel like Eva has been bonbarded with all of these "firsts" this week...and it's only Tuesday!
So she had her first swim lesson yesterday and today she had her first dentist visit! I was a little weary about how it was going to go...mostly because Eva is very sensitive to loud noises and I just though the sounds would freak her out. I tried to explain how it was all going to go down so she had a little bit of a heads up. She loved the kids waiting room full of toys.
Now Eva is very intelligent...I think she is and I've had many people tell me she is...so when she gets "shy" or "nervous" it's really embarrasing because she comes across as...not intelligent, that's the best way to describe it...nicely.
So the hygenist was asking her questions and Eva just sort of looks around, acts very shy and makes small peep sounds like a baby dinosaur...or a baby. I have to remind her to, "talk like a 4 year old" all the time...I know it's lame that it embarrases me but, it does, especailly since I go around sining her praises constantly and then when she meets someone she goes into this weird introverted 1 year old baby thing...really embarrasing.
So whatever, I had to pry answers out of her and answer questions for her but besides all of that, she did amazing. She got to touch all the mouth tools and see what they did and she did a great job of opening up and letting them clean her little pearly whites. I was actually really proud of her even though the baby talk was enough to make anyone's eyes roll. She did great. She was quiet until the minute we got out to the car and then she went on and on about how the water was so cool squirting out and it tickled and how cool her new toothbrush is and that the floss tasted so good.
She did great, hopefully she will love the dentist as much as I do. That's right, I love going to the dentist, it was my favorite doctor to go see...and I have my x-rays tomorrow and I can't wait! ;P

Love it when a dentist visit goes well. My kids love going to the dentist. It sound like we might have the same office. Pediatric Dentist in Albany? Glad all was well.
So either RJ and Eva are very much alike, or most 4 year old in general are the same. Every time I read your posts about Eva, I think, yep, RJ does the same thing. He is smart as well but then gets all shy and does the baby talk or tries to show off doing the baby talk. Very annoying!! Glad to hear her first dentist appointment went well. Hope yours goes the same.
