Does the Tooth Fairy make exceptions?

Because I know a little girl who would love to wake up and find a dollar under her pillow as a reward her for being such a good little patient today! Myah did really well today. She started to cry for me when they went to take her back but I reassured her that she would be just fine. I was prepared to hold her in my lap if I had to but the dental assitant was able to make friends with her and convince her that a new ring would be hers afterwards. Away she went! After a half hour one of the assistants called us back and informed us that the two fillings that they were going to do today didn't go as they had planned and they had to put a crown on one of the teeth. We knew she was going to have to get another crown put on next week in addition to another filling but we were a bit dissapointed and saddened that she needed to have two. It is really strange to see a 2 year old laugh with a silver crown in her mouth. We really love our dentist and are so thankful that we found such a great office, he even kissed Myah on the head and apologized for putting her through so much today. She came to us with a big wad of cotton in her mouth and she looked like she had been crying. Just broke our hearts! She has been pretty cranky all day long since the procedure. I can't blame her, he had to dig into her gums in order to put the crown on. So we will see how next week goes, I hope she will cooperate now that she knows what to expect. She had laughing gas in order to get the shots and he reassured us that she felt no pain. She has thanked me so much today for taking her to the dentist. She hugs me and says "momma, I love you so much for the dentist".

It was sweet today when she was reaching for me to comfort her. Those of you who have adopted a toddler will understand. Tonight it was a first for me as well as I was tucking her into bed I sat there rubbing her head and giving her kisses like I always do, and I started to sing to her, this time she started smiling at me and asked me to do it again and again, and again. It was so sweet because this is the first time that she has let me sing to her, normally she doesn't like it, I am sure it is my voice (wink)! I am sure today was a bit traumatic for her, I am so thankful though that we are getting these issues taken care of. We are keeping an eye on another tooth on the top of her mouth now that looks suspicious. I have a feeling we are going to be "good customers" at the Dentist office. As we left today I told Mark that she has had more dental work done today than I have my whole life, I have one cavity! I thought I would share a few pictures of how our little princess looked today. She layed around for quite a while afterwards. I think her mouth was pretty numb for a while and it really bothered her. She asked me to take it (the numbness) away. The dentist told her that her tooth was getting a new hat, she thinks the tooth is gone. Well, daddy is off to work for the first time in 3 weeks, so we are praying that she has a good nights sleep! We'll see! Thanks for your concern and love for Myah, we sure appreciate it! P.S. We are expecting yet another snow storm tonight! If I see another flake I might just become one! (Be nice now! I know I am pretty flaky to begin with!). Seriously people, we have had one of the snowiest and coldest winters that I can remember, I can't remove the Christmas deer in my front yard because they are frozen in the ground!
