Tuesday, June 24th

Yesterday Katie went to the dentist for the first time. She did AWESOME! She opened her mouth for both the hygentist and dentist and let them count her teeth. 20 in all! Made me think of what a big girl she is. No tears, not even a fuss. She told Daddy all about it and was very proud of herself. The highlight...a new toothbrush and a bouncey ball!
