Emma goes to the dentist

For the past couple of weeks, maybe 10 days, Emma would say "I'm not feeling well". When you asked her what was wrong she said her tooth hurt. She had also said her ear hurt once. So I decided to take her to the dentist the other day and be sure all was well. She sat in the chair really good for the dental assistant and watched a couple of movies about first trips to the dentist. The assistant took the x-rays of her mouth and she did very well until it was all over, then she cried! So strange that she cried afterwards. She hadn't had a chance to calm down before the dentist came in, so of course, she just bawled through the rest of the process. He said her teeth looked great, very healthy, so I guess we are doing an OK job of brushing them. She was very happy with herself after it was over though, like as if it was a piece of cake for her. I am not sure what was wrong, if anything. I even took her to the doctor to rule out anything with her ears, and she was given a clean bill of health there too. As my grandmother would have said "Praise the Lord" :-)
