A Trip To The Dentist And Mom Cried????

Today, Madison had her regular six month check up at the dentist. As usual, she wasn't jazzed about going, but she is usually a good sport. The one thing they've never been able to do is get x-rays on her, she has an unbelievable gag reflex. She just can't take those cardboard pieces in her mouth. Well at our dentist they have T.V.'s in the rooms for you to watch (which is awesome!) and something came on advertising for Christmas. I made a comment how hopefully we'd be in China for Christmas, thinking that I had told the dental technician before (because we always see the same awesome tech) that we were adopting. Well apparently I hadn't, so we started a whole conversation about it and by the end I had her tearing up with chill bumps, which is so exciting for me, I love that people are so supportive. She told us to be sure and bring Zoey by when we got back from China so they could check her teeth (if she has any) to see if she needs to start flouride treatment from having a bottle in her mouth more than a baby should. Once Madison was done with her checkup (no cavities, yeah!) they always give you a toothbrush, toothpaste, etc. Well, they now have been giving little travel bags for you to use to hold your toothbrush and toothpaste when traveling. The dental technician handed Madison hers, which was purple with a pink and a purple toothbrush in it, and had written her name on it. She then handed her another one with Zoey's name written on it with a Dora the Explorer toothbrush, and told Madison to be sure and take it to China so that Zoey would have her first toothbrush. I started tearing up and so did she, it was so sweet. Little things like that make it so much more real that we will be bringing our baby home in just a few months!

I can't wait until you pack that bag for China! That was so sweet of them to do that for Zoey!
