Little Miracles

It was time, once again, for our biannual visit to the dentist. It's always the same thing.
I beg, plead, coax, threaten, and anything else I can think of for 20 minutes before Antalya eventually opens her mouth just long enough for the dentist to quickly look inside, and if he's lucky, get a good look at her molars (where cavities are more likely).

We count that as a successful visit, and leave with hopes that next time will be better.

And today...it was!

Six months ago I never would have believed this picture could be possible.

But there it is. Proof that my girl sat in the dental chair, leaned back, opened her mouth, and let a stranger clean her teeth for several minutes.

Miracles happen!

And today's miracle was made possible by this cute little sister that showed her big sister there was nothing to fear.

Way to go Antalya! I am sure this will make future visits so much more enjoyable for both of you! So sweet that little Victoria can help her overcome some fears. They are both adorable!
