So Proud Of Myself

This little girl proved just how brave she truly is yesterday.  After a quick trip to the dentist last week it was confirmed that the tooth that was bothering her had broke.  So, Dr. Johnson proceeded to explain to her how he would give her a shot, file the tooth, fill it and then smooth it down.  We scheduled the appointment for a week out.... and she talked about it for seven straight days.  She told everyone she knew that she was going to get a needle in her mouth. 

As we drove to the office I started to talk to her about what was going to happen again, the mother hen in me just wanted to make sure that she knew exactly what was going to happen.  She quickly started crying and asked me to please stop talking about it, so I did.  My stomach started to turn as I figured it was going to be an ugly experience that would ruin her chances of ever liking going to the dentist. 

Boy was I wrong!  We got the office, got her in the chair and twenty short minutes later we were out the door. No tears, no threats, no bribing, no fits, no nothing... just one brave little girl who laid in the chair and never once complained.  The needle went in, nothing. The drill started, nothing. They put on the band to form the new tooth, nothing. The file started, nothing. The light turned on, nothing. They polished it, nothing. That was it.  She made it easy... I was so proud of her... and as we walked out the door she said " I am so proud of myself." You should be Peyton Jo, for not only being awesome at the dentist but for being the most amazing little girl I know. Love you! 

 

We did have to go to Target afterwards to celebrate with a set a window markers and stencils so she could go home and decorate the windows!

Day 19-22

I missed completing my thankful to Thanksgiving posts... so here goes the last few!

Day 19- Gym
There is nothing like a sweaty, tiring, hard workout to keep your stress levels low.  Not only have am I thankful that I have the ability to workout and teach classes but also for all the people I have met along this journey!

Day 20- Fall Break
Having a week away from work to enjoy family is awesome!  It was a week filled with down time and lots of relaxing and enjoying each others company.


Day 21&22- Family & Friends
I wouold never be where I am today without all of the people surrounding me.  It doesn't matter if you are my husband, sister, mother, cousin, friend, co-worker, workout partner, daughter, son, student, aunt, uncle, in-law, or whoever, I am thankful for the influence you have had on my life.  Past, present and future I am thankful for all of you.
