The dentist

Sophia had her second dentist appointment this morning. She was excited to go. Well, at least I should say she was not reluctant to go, but when we sat down in the chair it was a completely different story.

She refused to open her mouth. She refused to even turn her head toward Crystal, the hygienist. Eventually she was in tears and they basically kicked us out and told us to try again soon.

I felt bad for Sophia because she was obviously frightened, but she wouldn't even try it just once to see what the paste tasted like. I wasn't frustrated with her, just her extreme shyness and strong will (seems a bit like an oxymoron). She just simply refused to participate.

On the way to the car I told her that Will would take her next time and she burst into tears. Poor kid, huh?
