Tuesday was a big day at the dentist for Ava. She had a cavity filled many months ago and had quite a rough time. Tuesday was the appointment to fill the second cavity. Dad and Mom both went with her. Mom stayed out front with Sarah and Dad went back with Ava. At first she was a little afraid, but the dentist and assistant were great. Dad talked about how it is okay to be "afraid", but being "brave" is doing what you must even though you are afraid. Don't know if that helped, or if it was the Cinderella video and "magic air"... But whatever it was Ava was a very brave girl. She didn't flinch one bit and let them do the whole procedure. Now she has a nice white filling and no more black cavity. Dad and Mom were super proud of Ava!

So young yet so brave! I wonder how you convinced her - they do know by that age that "going to the dentist" means "crying and screaming." You must be very proud.
