Dinner and the Dentist

So this picture really doesn't capture the silliness of the moment. While I was fixing Emma lunch yesterday she proceeded to fix her own lunch with her toy microwave. It consisted of a plastic croissant and grape soda. And instead of eating the lunch her mom prepared, she sat and blew on her croissant until it was cool enough to "eat" and sipped at her toy can of grape soda. I don't think she touched a thing I gave her.


Today Emma went to the dentist for the first time! And she did really well! She watched them take pictures of my teeth, "count" and clean my teeth, and she got to practice brushing a giant set of teeth with a giant toothbrush. When it was her turn she loved riding in the chair, was very still for "pictures," and only got timid for a minute when she saw that the hygienist wanted to put her little mirror in her mouth.

When we got home Emma spent the afternoon playing "dentist" with me. I lay down and she told me to "open wide" while she turned all sorts of random toys into I don't know what dentist instrument that she would put in my mouth.
