Crocodile Smiles.

Do you find it strange that we took our eleven month old to the dentist already?!

I have a customer who is a Pediatric Dentist and she and her husband have been trying to convince me to take Rylie in ever since she was six months old. By then, she already had a few teeth. But now that she has eight teeth and had something going on with her upper lip that we were a bit concerned about, we decided it was time. So last week, we went. And to our surprise, everyone was a bit confused when we told them that we were taking Rylie to the dentist. They didn't understand why we would take a baby to the dentist...already!

And apparently, this is what we have to look forward to when Rylie impatiently waits in the waiting room:

However, during the actual visit, she did such a GREAT JOB! They cleaned her teeth, made note of all the teeth she already has, informed us that what we thought was abnormal was actually normal, and also told us that she did, in deed, have crooked teeth. But, obviously, there is absolutely nothing we can do about that right now. But Brian has already promised Rylie that she will eventually have "perfect teeth!"

And...to all of you who thought it was a bit odd that we were already taking Rylie to the dentist, we felt that it was the right decision for us and the dentist reassured us that it's normal...we're normal! And now we feel so much better knowing that her abnormality is actually a normality and Rylie has a new favorite stuffed animal...a bright green crocodile!
