Another First

On Wednesday, Kiera had her very first dentist appointment.  I really wasn’t sure how it would go, but I had talked to her a few times before about it and had prayed that it would go well.  When she first sat down in the chair and the hygienist lowered it, Kiera sat up and said, “I want to go home.”  I laughed and said, “No Kiera, they’re not done yet.”  She lay back down and the hygienist gave her princess sunglasses to wear.  She let Kiera hold the little mirror, so she looked at herself a lot and enjoyed that.  The hygienist said she would count Kiera’s teeth and chase the sugar bugs away.  Kiera had NO issues with any of it and I was SO relieved!  The dentist came in and checked her teeth after and asked if I brush her teeth and I said, “Yes.”  He said, “You’re doing a good job, Mom.”  That was nice to hear, as Kiera often fights me when it comes to me brushing her teeth, so it’s paying off!  Kiera got to pick a prize and she picked a bright pink ring which she was thrilled about!  When we were in the entrance just about to leave, Kiera asked, “Where’s the dentist?  I want to say bye to him.”  So, the hygienist took her back in to say good-bye to him.  They came back and the hygienist said, “She said bye and gave him a hug!  That will have made his day!”  That made me laugh!  Kiera has such a gift when it comes to how friendly she is and she blesses people without even knowing it.  I love seeing how God uses her.  After we left, she said, “That was fun!”  What a miracle!  God answered beyond what I had asked or imagined!
