This morning Camdyn had her dentist appointment. It was scheduled for 10 so I gave her two options: she could go to school and be picked up early or stay with me while I took McKenna and Keeghan to school. She took option #2. Surprised? = ) I'm not. She has been very curious about their school and has been very jealous of the projects they make. (She would have been in heaven at age 2 with McKenna's two teachers and the wonderful projects they make!)
When we got to school, Camdyn asked why it looked like a church instead of a school. (Their preschool is at a United Methodist Church.) McKenna declared "because it's a church and a school!" After that confusion, I told McKenna she got to be the leader and show "Sister" where to go because she didn't know. McKenna was so excited! Off she went leading big sister, pushing the buttons to open the doors and heading into the "gym" where all the kids and parents hang out until it is time to go the classrooms. Normally, McKenna hangs shyly by my side while all the other kids run around but today she led Sister right out into the fray. Camdyn was having a great time!
Then it was time to go back to the classrooms. There are two "wings" -- to the left are the 3's, 4's and Kindergarden Readiness and to the right are the Infants, Young 2's and 2's. The teachers on the "young" hall do such a fabulous job of making all the kids feel welcome with a good start to the day. McKenna introduced Camdyn and they extended that same warmth to her -- she positively glowed!
With much fanfare, Camdyn and I headed out. We had 20-25 minutes to spare and she decided she wanted to come home to play. After that, we headed up to the dentist. Camdyn did a great job during the initial "exam". The dentist was concerned that one of Camdyn's back teeth did not fully develop its enamel and basically had a divot in it. He suggested it was due to her ear problems during the tooth's development. He wanted to put in a stainless steel crown and could do it the same day if we came back at 11. They encouraged us to run and get lunch for Camdyn as she wouldn't feel like eating for a couple of hours after the procedure. Of course, the closest option was McDonald's so off we went.
Back at the dentist office, Camdyn got her crown and teeth cleaned with nary a problem. The dentist said she did great and was very cooperative... I think that was because of the laughing gas... So Camdyn now has a "silver" 12 year molar.
Camdyn was delighted to have the rest of the day off from school and McKenna was delighted to see "Sister" at pickup. That delight wore off shortly after arrival home...
